She's almost all day on the eggs. Every now and the she leaves for a little while. She's very lethargic. That's a sign of more eggs in the making.Haven't seen the male around yet. He takes care of her being fed. She needs a lot of food in order to produce healthy and strong eggs.
In the weeks before egglaying she starts storing calcium in her pneumatic bones. So she has a lot of it in stock to make strong eggshells.
The processes in her body take a lot of energy. That and the high hormone levels make her sleepy, and moody. She's pregnant. Imagine procucing 4 virtile eggs in 8 days !
