Phoebe Update

She laid one egg in April - I found it broken in her cage. She started acting very hormonal a couple weeks ago. I could tell she was gaining weight. She is a bigger girl weighing over 120 g. Lily's usual weight was 95-100. When she reached 105 g, I knew an egg was on the way. Still working on getting Phoebe used to the scale. I weighed her and she was 135 g! And she did lay 2 more eggs both broken. She is laying them while perched. I wanted to get the weight of her eggs if possible. I put some bubble wrap on the bottom of the cage, covered with paper hoping the next egg would not break. She laid another, I was able to weigh it - It was 6.4 g! Lily's eggs usually weighed between 4.8 - 5.2 g. Hoping this is just a spring time thing.
