675.0. "Cholesterol-Free Eggs" by JVAX::SIPILA (Can I go home now?) Mon Mar 23 1992 16:12
Why does my little Zebra Finch hen - Maggie - lay an egg once in
awhile with NO YOLK?
Sunday she laid a very small yolkless egg. It looked like a healthy
egg - white with a strong shell. Once in awhile she does this.
Is she lacking something in her diet?
She gets grit, water, staple seed mixture, a treat mixture, lettuce,
and fruits.
She is a little over two years old and the picture of health. Her
feathers are glossy, her eyes sparkle and she is a feisty little
one! She and her brother - Max - are always chasing each other,
and playing little birdie games.
I have also noticed that she doesn't lay as many eggs as she did
when she was younger. As finches grow older, do they lay fewer
eggs?
Thanks for any advise anyone can give me.
It still ain't easy bein' a mother bird!
Regards,
Susan

| 675.1 | Goin' to the Vet! | MILPND::SIPILA | Can I go home now? | Wed Jun 24 1992 11:48 | 14 |
| Well, seeing that no one answered my note, I have an appointment with
the vet tomorrow at the Littleton Animal Hospital with either Drs.
Sagar or Kilgore.
Dr. Kilgore comes highly recommended by other bird fanciers but does
anyone know Dr. Sagar?
Thanks,
Susan

| Actually this note should have appeared as answer to note #700 but
hopefully both problems can be treated tomorrow.
Maggie still hasn't laid any eggs!

Susan
