BOURKE Parrot EGGS - HELP
Posted: 12 Sep 2022, 16:44
OKAY EVERYONE .. PLEASE HELP.
We have a pr of Bourke Parrots, during August our Hen laid some Eggs, every 2-3 days she laid 1, until she had 5.
On my count the 5th was laid on August 21st.
Since then i have never seen her leave the nest. When i look inside she just stares at me.
By my calculations, these eggs should have hatched, so today when i noticed she was out of the box, i went in and candled them.
2 are definitely clear & the other appear to be fertile. One was even moving! .. however she has now been out of the nest for a couple of hours now.
Im hoping me touching them hasnt deterred her, however considering i can see at least movement in 1 egg im concerned.
What should i do from here?? If i count from August 21st, im guessing today is day 22? This is their first clutch
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU
