Not that I'm aware of, they will lay when there ready. Most of mine scratch around for a few days. I find if you keep putting them in there next box it sometimes speeds things up. Your Mrs won't need to do anything anyhow other than wait till the female is finished and covered them over and left the box. Once she's done this she just needs to take the lay box out, carefully dig them up and put them in a container with vermiculite. If you get the container ready for her and leave in in the incubator till it's ready to be used, she will be right. Good luck with the eggs
