I know yours are on the cage floor hummer. Claudia however, just removed a nestbox from her cage after 6 chicks fledged.

    Completely normal. Most birds lay one every other day until the clutch is complete.

    waddless has stoped laying eggs i think, since its been 4 days since she laid the fourth one. I was wondering can i start removing the three of her eeggs that she doesnt sit on. she has kicked these out of the area where they were laid and seems to have no intrest in sitting on them only sits on one egg.

    Yes, if she is showing no intrest it is safe to remove those eggs. Just hold on to them in case she acts broody again.

    well i removed the fourth and last egg this past thursday. Waddles seems to be doing fine back to her normal self. i do have a question , should i remove her mirror and re arange her cage to discourage any near future egg laying.

    Yes, she very well may see the mirror as a mate. I do not allow mirrors with any of my birds due to bad expierences with them.

    You should rearrange the cage at least every other week to keep her from becoming broody again. Remember 12+ hours of sleep every night too!
