My Quaker's 2nd time laying eggs. The first batch 2 years ago didn't work out. They have a nesting box that I put a dashcam into. She is making these weird chitters that I've never heard her make before. I was just wondering if anybody knows what they mean. She only does it when the male is in there with her. He hasn't taken much interest in sitting on the eggs. He mostly just stands guard on the outside. But I'm not sure if she's bored and tries to initiate some beak play or if she's annoyed with him being in there or if maybe the nest box is too small.

I jacked up the sound so you could hear her better so there is some noise in the background. I'm not worried about her or anything. They haven't been aggressive towards me or my wife at all. I was just wondering if anybody else's Quakers did this sort of thing.
I candled them the best I could the other night and 2 seem to be developing, and 2 grew for about a week or so then stopped. As far as I can tell today is day 29, so they are overdue for hatching.
