I've read the red palm oil is a good thing to include in their diet. I just lost one of my female parakeets to cronic laying. I don't provide any nesting places or material to discourage the females from wanting to lay. One insisted on laying every few days anyway. She was only  2 yrs old, so I know she died from over laying.

If it happens again leave the eggs. I've been told that providing a nest ONCE they lay will help them to stop. If you are worried about babies you can prevent this by placing the egg in boiled water (hot, right off the stove) for 1 minute, marking it with a dot (so you know which was already placed in water) and repeating for each egg. You can only do this IF you know for a fact the egg was laid within the past 24 hours (after 24 hours the egg will be fertilized if she has mated with a male).

If you remove eggs a hen will continue to lay until she either dies or the caregiver lets her lay a clutch & lets her sit. Give extra greens, eggs, & almonds (put in a grinder and sprinkle over food if the make a paste roll in seeds).

Red palm oil is great, but never cook with it, or bake with it.
Sorry for your loss. 2sadk
