Thank you. In the 10 years she has been in my care clutch sizes have been 1-2 eggs. This season was her first time with one clutch of 3 eggs. Six are appearing fertile with recent egg being too soon to tell. Typical clutch size for this specie is 1-2 eggs, 1-2 clutches per season.

Yes, that is an egg. In the photo the egg dies appear unusually large but in fact it is a typical sized egg for a 5 inch sized Egyptian.
