Hmmmm... If she is less than a year old, she is still young enough to lay eggs. I'm sure you are meeting her nutritional needs, but just in case, you might give her some boiled egg (shell included) or some grit, so that she has additional calcium in her diet. Some birds slow down their egg-laying in the winter, but it's summer, so that won't work. (It has to do with the hours of daylight the bird receives.) Perhaps she is older than you think. If I remember correctly, females can lay for 3-4 years. Nutmeg, who is about 2 1/2 has laid eggs, quit, and laid again... several times! We don't know why she is so sporadic because everything else is constant.
