I was originally going to let her hatch out the egg, but since she will not come down during the day and I will not always be there to take her down until evening, i do not think I will. I removed the eggs and locked the nesting boxes, only letting them up at night. I might try putting food up...

Supplies:
A glass bottle with a secure top. (Like a Mason or Pickle Jar.)
A really fluffy...
