Unfertile eggs I desperately need some help!!!

[teresas]

My 8 yr CAG Elmo has for the second time now (last time was a couple of years ago) laid 3 eggs. She has been sitting on these for over three weeks.
She doesn't eat like she should. She rarely gets off of those eggs.
I am very worried about her and I don't know what to do. I have been trying to wait for her to lose interest....but I am beginning to think that is never going to happen and that she is going to get sick.
PLEASE someone help me and Elmo !!!

Thank you so much in advance

She should start to loose intrest soon, I believe greys sit for over 20 days normally. Move food and water near her so she can eat while on the eggs. Start lowering the ammount of daylight that she is getting to less than 12, this will simulate winter and tell her it is not the time of year to breed.

Make sure she is getting pleanty of calcium in her diet. :)

Thank you so so much for the reply!!!
I have been practically hand feeding her. I make all of her favorites
and then feed her. That has helped. I will do that and also limit the light.
I can't thank you enough for the help!!
