Question
Hi again Chrys, Thanks for your previous answer. However, i have another question, i notice for over a week now one of my female is always setting in the mating position but the male is doing nothing. Do you think that they will eventually mate. She is still going into the nest box and the male is still feeding her. What do you think. Please give me your advice. Thanks. Cheryl


Answer
Hi, Cheryl.  Thanks for posting!

Are you sure you asked me a question...I can't seem to find previous communications between us, so I don't have details of your situation.  

Explain what you see the female doing that you think is the mating position?  Females don't normally stay setting in a mating position.  They only have to mate once in order to produce a full clutch of eggs.  If they are both going in/out of the nesting box, and the male is feeding the female, eggs are sure to come soon, unless there's some other problem/issue I'm not aware of.
