    She will start collecting a clutch of eggs to incubate and she’ll stay on the nest longer and longer each day.

    When her clutch is complete, she’ll stop laying and sit on the eggs for the 21 days it takes to incubate the eggs. It will be another 2 months or so before she’ll start laying again, the time it takes for the chicks to mature enough to care for themselves.
