LAYING HEN. Thinks it is anyhow

[Finnigan]

Hi all! been awhile. I have a pair of Gouldians "in their own cage before anyone askes" they have laid about 24 eges but not set them. should I take them out and let them go again. Has anyone else had this before.

Sounds like they don't like each other, or he is firing blanks. Give her a nice rest, without a nest in sight, then a new mate.

I've had similar false starts this year (not so many eggs but plenty of clear ones), chucked them out 7 let them go again & ended up (with most) following up with a proper clutch of fertile eggs. I strongly recommend chucking them out 7 seeing if they follow up by doing the right thing before doing anything more drastic.
