Question
I have had 2 zebra finches for a few months now, both male and female. They laid eggs and now I have 2 more. So 4 total. The mother of the bunch laid 4 more eggs do you think that will be ok for the parents to have another batch of babies? Or should I give her a break?  

Answer
Depends, how long ago did she have the eggs? If the other babies are still too young to be independant, it's too soon.
You can't get rid of the eggs and not replace them though. You can buy fake ones and throw the real ones away or have yourself some scrambled eggs...
