No, she is 4 and lays sporadically!

I went out for a bit and came back and she had laid an egg. Perhaps she was just uncomfortable and wanted extra love? I love her and want her happy but jeez she was really clingy!

My girl, Louise, is acting very strange. She is following me around, under my feet, and is loud when I'm not right next to her! She is driving me nuts. What's the deal?
