Typical clutch size for lovebirds is 4 to 6 eggs. The hen will lay one egg every 48 hours until the full clutch is laid. The incubation period is 21 to 24 days. If you don't have a male lovebird, the eggs will be infertile. Remove them after 3-4 weeks or when the hen abandons the nest. Feed a fortified diet with extra calcium which can be depleted from egg laying.

This is normal for a clutch, albeit on the large size, it is not unheard of. If there is not a male present that she is breeding with, then yes, the eggs will not be fertile and should be removed from the nest. If there is a male she has bred with, then giving her a few weeks to see if the eggs hatch can help. Fertile eggs will often start out clear and become more opaque as they mature. If you don't want her to lay as often, removing any nesting materials from her cage can help. You also want to make sure to feed her some extras such as a cuttelbone or eggfood to help replenish any calcium lost during the creation and laying of eggs to ensure she stays healthy.
