Spotties lay the eggs at intervals of two to three days and the mother starts
incubating the eggs as soon as they are laid. Unfortunately the first born
gets the most food and in times of scarcity of food, the last born does
sometimes die of starvation. If there is abundant food about they may lay a
second brood straight after the first brood is able to fly.
