She's trying to finish her clutch. So she wants 5.... just let her do her thing until she's tired of it...

Erik, most conures will lay 4-5 egg clutches, but some have laid 6, in 1.5-2 day spans, with first timers maybe taking a bit longer to get things going.....

Like Mikey said, just let her do her thing until she's tired of it...

Ok good. I know its normal to get eggs but I was concerned because last year it was two. But now it makes total sense. When she steped up today I could see one makeing its way out. I'm surprised though because last year she was acting reserved and secluded but she's been really active and has been comeing out but when she goes in she gathers them and sits on them.

Most conures don't sit their eggs until the third or fourth egg is laid.....if she doesn't have a mate, it might be a good idea if you limit your interaction with her unless she comes out of the cage & seeks your attention.....sometimes sitting hens will destroy eggs if they get excited or nervous, then some will try to replace the destroyed eggs, severely taxing their bodies.....

She does come right to the door and asks to come out by makeing her usual chirping sound but I have tryed to let her be. I took her out because she was acting normal and not mothering the eggs but I will denetly take your advice as I want this to pass quickly. Thank you for the fast reply.
