When to remove eggs

[Colourfulkelly]

Last night my female was in the process of laying infertile eggs (she was never mated), this morning shes covered them up and has been climbing away from the lay box but has been back a few times. just wondering when i can remove the eggs because i dont want them to rot and smell, i didn't want to remove them to soon in case she hasn't released them all or if that would scare her.

Once she covers them over she's done.

How many did she lay?

You can remove them once she done laying n burying her eggs.
Just in time for the Easter.

I have found that removing the lay bin can result in egg retention and death, even when she appears done and has covered the hole. Remove the eggs themselves after a few days, just in case she isn't finished or was disrupted. Remove the infertile eggs and return the bin to her cage. She may lay again and will die egg bound without her lay bin. If she begins to dehydrate and continues to show gravid colors, I would try the trash can method to be safe. If these methods fail please consult a specialist.
