What kind of diet do you feed her? If you've been giving her more fruit lately, it may just be a little more runny because of that. I've read that what's real important is that the actual poop part (I forget the correct term, but it's the brown stuff) is more solid. If it is loose and not held together then she may be sick.

Leo has the same problem when she lays, but its not really that bad. Do you give her egg food, It is just to keep the hens healthy and well while they are laying, as she seems to lay a lot it might be an idea. I would keep a close eye on her, if nothing changes I would give your vet a call. It will make you feel better.

Oh I'm building an Aviary in my garden, should be up and running soon. She can come live with me, maybe she could teach Leo to lay on her eggs. :D

I am very sorry that Misty is not feeling well AND laying eggs ... remember, make sure she is getting plenty of calcium to help keep her healthy!

OK so since the vet is a little over an hour away we took Sidney for a well bird check up he is fine but one of his counts was a little low so they said he might be on the verge of getting a little respitory gunk so to bring him in if he starts sneizing. I think it probably had something to do with the people I got him from smoked.
Misty weighed 91 grams on the low end of the scale for a cockatiel when he examined her he found that she had an egg in her so he went ahead and got it out and it was really soft he said it might have hardened but you never know cuz she is really low on calcium and she was really low on the good bacteria he said laying so many eggs it just didn't stay in her. Anyways we have a powder for her water a new cuttle bone with a mineral block around it and some stuff in a syringe to give her. And we got some fake eggs good thing easter isn't too far away they weren't hard to find. I am still entertaining the idea of finding a place she could go and just be a bird if she just keeps on laying. If anyone hears about a good place around this area feel free to let me know.

Those eggs may just work, let us know how she is getting on. I do hope they work for her.
