Fran,
I've been very busy this past week consulting on a new project at work -- 
looks like I'll be in Houston every other week for 8 weeks.  Leave on 
Mondays, return on Fridays.  Yech!  Not that far from Austin, eh?
Anyways, since work has been so hectic I've not checked the breeders much 
except to feed, water and clean.  I've not noticed Rene much for a week now.  
Today being Saturday, I checked the nestbox ... one egg was off to  her side, 
more might have been below her ... he growling at me like he always does 
(eggs or not.)  So I closed the nestbox door and left quietly ... ran 
upstairs and woke up Sue (it was 5:30 AM) loudly!
Gonna try the 'leave-em-alone-and-hope-method' this time.  The check method 
did zip last two times.  Course I really don't think checking was the problem 
then, since each egg was infertile, near as I could tell.  Now I'm MARE 
trained enough to at least have my Avian vet help me disect the unhatched 
fresh(er) eggs ... if there are any this time.
