1, The ses eggs are going to be infertile.
2, Egg laying uses up the birds calcium reserves each time they lay a clutch of eggs.
3, Egg binding is also likely in any hen laying eggs.

If you have a male and female and are wanting to have babies some things to consider.

1, Some birds reject there chicks and some even kill them.
2, If chicks are rejected do you have the time and know how to hand raise the chicks every 2hours around the clock.
3, Do you have a brooder to keep the chicks warm if they are rejected by there parents.
4, Is there diet correct ?
do they get cuttlefish bone for added calcium and vitamin block for added vitamins also do they get fresh fruit and veg daily.

These are just some of the things to think about before allowing them to lay eggs.
