It depends...
if it is a female, when it is old enough it mostly will lay eggs without male present, just keep in mind these eggs are NOT fertile.
If you have a female 'egging' as i call it, then give her lots of calcium or else there is a chance she will get egg bound and lead her to her premutare death.
Hope this helps... This is also very true with most egg laying animals the female tends to lay eggs that have not been fertilised by a male that is the difference in hens egg that you can eat and the ones you dont that hatch.. Supplimenting the diet with extra calcium is a very good suggestion
