Thanks for reaching out about Fifi. Typically most bird will lay eggs 48 hours apart. The time from ovulation to egg laying is usually around 40 hours. As the ovum traverses the female reproductive tract, all the additional layers of the egg are deposited (albumen, shell membranes, shell). Birds usually lay in the early morning hours. Some birds will only lay one egg and can be normal. Some will lay 6-8 eggs and will potentially double clutch if the eggs are removed or destroyed. Good luck.
