She is less than a year old. She laid a clutch at Christmas, then at the end of April, and she has just gone into lay again.
I'm worried about the egg-laying making too many demands on her strength; and I'm also saddened by the fact that when she is laying and nesting she can't come out as much (partly because I don't want to disturb her unduly but also because when she does want to come out I have to be on the alert for the mega-poos that she does whilst nesting, 10x bigger than normal poos.
I've heard that artificially restricting daylight hours will help; and I've also heard that withdrawing a lot of physical contact will help (so that she doesn't feel like she has a 'partner'). I'm loathe to try the latter unless I'm sure it is helpful. Would it help? Is there anything else I can do?
(PS I know she isn't a 'super furry animal' but MN topics discriminate against birds that aren't chickens.
