I'm sorry that I really can't help you. I have never bread birds so don't know if what she is doing is right or not. I'm not sure if there are any breaders on this forum.

I can say from watching my tiel hen who was quit the egg layer. She would lay anywhere from one to 5 eggs over 2 or 3 days. She would not always sit on them she would get up for short periods of time to eat strech ect then go back. I would give her a few days after I figured she was done laying then take them. I didn't have a male tiel so her eggs were no good.
