An over active egg layer is a problem that has to be taken
care of by an avian vet BUT if you have the female and male
together, she'll never stop. Using a vet usually has to do
with a female that's doing the same thing as yours but has
no mate around it. Your 2 have to be separated and all types
of nesting material, nest box and whatever else is being
used has to be definitely removed. All types of food that
she would be giving chicks have to be removed. Changing the
interior of the cage is also a good idea. Move the perches,
change the toys, bowls etc. Those the most important things
to focus on right now and if she still continues laying eggs
with no male around, that's the time to see the vet.
