Update on the breeding of first-molts

About a month ago, I paired up Rock, a seven month old first-molt, to a female named Ross, also a first molt. Rock is the son of Funkie, out of Fatina and Ross, now about 9 months old, is bred by DDS. Ross laid her first egg this morning. I took a picture this morning when Ross was done with the laying. I am not too happy with the nest. The sunken area to hold the eggs is not well cushioned at the base. Ross is young and inexperienced and the nesting area is a little too large. We will just have to wait and see what happens next.
