Question about eggs!!

[Skitizer]

This whole time (3 years) I thought my quaker was a boy until tonight!!! I was so worried because she was fluffed up and making weird noises and she wouldn't respond to my voice....well I now know why she wasn't, I was worried until I saw that white egg in her cage. My quaker laid her first egg tonight. Anyway, to the question, how many more eggs will she lay? This was her first one and I'm wondering if she will lay more. Is it predictable when she will lay them? Do I need to buy a nest for her? also, what should I do with her egg that will never hatch? Keep it or take it away?

I just had my Hahns sexed and found "he" was a "she". I needed to know if there were eggs in our future too. What I was told revolved around keeping the mating behaviors to a minimum. Head touching only, don't allow her to participate in nesting behaviors.

Here is the link to my thread.

This is the third person today who I have heard their parrot was thought to be a male but was a female. Lol. One of them was a 30yr old CAG and was thought to be a male until "he"laid an egg yesterday haha.

Quakers are actually pretty easy to sex as the males are broader heads and wider beaks then that of a female. When I picked up Cracker the Quaker when he was a baby, it was very evident the other baby was a female when you look at them side by side.
