I think that Emerald will start laying soon. Like Speckles she is practising. She was going from one nest box to the other whilst placing pine shavings on her back. At one point she was outside of the nest box reaching in and picking up shavings to place on her back.

She didn’t actually sit in the nest box but she is obviously getting ready to start laying again. I think she will start any day now.
