Topaz practised laying throughout December and the first half of January and then stopped. It was as if she suddenly realised that she was practising too early and gave up.
This morning she was very vocal and had a look in the small nest box. She looked quite cross as if she felt that the small nest box wasn’t up to standard for her.
I opened up the large nest box and she went straight to it to have a look.

I opened up the big nest box for her
She went in briefly but was soon back out again and still being very vocal. I think she may be getting ready to start laying again but you can never be sure with Topaz. She does need an awful lot of practice.
