I think whoever wrote this should not be left alone with an owl ever. In chapter 3 the author has Harry read some stuff out about Owl's eggs that I've personally never heard before, and after a quick check on the internet, the internet hasn't heard of before as well. And added to the fact that I don't believe that Snowy Owls mate with anything besides Snowy Owls, and for that matter I don't think Great Grey Owls and Barn Owls mate either.
Like Iximaz said, owls are birds not mammals, so no and certainly not, if they did that in the wild they'd probably die from lack of food. They lay their eggs (normally between 32 and 11) every other day over a period of several days so definitely not all at once.
I err stopped reading soon after Chapter 3, so I kinda hope it doesn't get worse from there.

First of all, in regards to the owls, they are birds, not mammals, so definitely no mammalian pregnancy symptoms. ...and I don't think I want to know why that would be an issue.
England can have any kind of food it wants, can't it? hS?
As for the Floo powder- NOT flue powder- people can stick their heads in a fireplace and do what's kind of the wizard equivalence of a Skype call, if that's what you're talking about, but there has never been any indication of 'calls' being transferred. I am relatively certain that it doesn't work like that, though.
I could run through the fic for you if you want- make a list of all the canon violations, you know? (I only say this because I'd prefer not to go near it with a ten-foot pole unless it was necessary.)
