2 out of my 3 cockatiels started laying eggs. I have 2 females and a male. One of the females is alone, and the two others are together (they are brother and sister). I wasn’t expecting the eggs to hatch, but the brother and sister managed to knock one of the eggs out of their nesting box. (It’s not a real nesting box, it’s just a cardboard box with a hole in the front.) When I was looking at it I held it up to the sunlight (very briefly of course, so I didn’t get a really good look at it) and I could see something in it. It was almost as big as the egg but not quite. It looked pink from what I could see. Could this have been a baby bird? Or was it just an unfertilized yolk? They laid the eggs around late April or early May. I am not sure about the brother and sisters eggs, but I know that the female bird that is alone eggs won’t hatch because the male hasn’t been anywhere near those eggs. I just didn’t want to take the eggs away because they seem to like sitting on them and I didn’t want them to lay more. I know how much calcium it takes from their little bodies. They eat special food with calcium vitamins in it. If they are going to hatch, when will they hatch?
~Thanks~
