Question
hi ,
  thanks for the reply to my earlier enquiry , it is now 31 days since my senegal laid its 1st egg and then she laid every 3 days till she had 4 , with no sign of hatching can i now presume that the eggs are not fertile even though she is still caring for them .
                                                                                          many thanks

Answer
-- Yes, chances are they are not fertile and won't hatch.  Still, leave them a little longer until she either stops caring for them herself or until you notice they're going 'bad' (smell, breakage, etc).  

Leaving them with her helps prevent further egg laying - and as we know, a non laying bird is healthier.

Keep up the good work, as usual!
