She does look pretty big though, so I'd say to just gently palpate her belly on both sides, right down at the end of her ribcage. If you feel a pair of big hard things, those are eggs. It is easiest to tell once the egg is calcified, but a developing pair of eggs/ or single egg can be difficult to make out with certainty.


To be on the safe side, offer a lay box. Whether she has been with a male or not doesn't mater. She could have virgin eggs in her! If she lays something, incubate just to be sure.
Thanks for the reply, i ill be getting a nest box together after work today
