Answer 1

Answer 2

yes,because they hatched from egg

Answer 3

I believe it is 4-5 days after its laid that you can tell whether it's fertile or not. To do so hold it very gently about a very bright flashlight in a dark room (or at night). Unless you have more than 1 bird, and they're both untame (bound to their cage and don't like people), then it's very very unlikely that egg will be fertile (You either have breeding birds or pet birds). My bird has laid about a dozen eggs over the past few months and none of them have been fertile (I have 1 female and 2 male cockatiels). BTW if it's fertile you will see red veins developing on the edges of the shell and an air "bubble".

Answer 4

Do an Internet search on egg candeling.  This is where you hold the egg in a darkened room, placed between your index finger and thumb, hold it up to a light source (or candle), and check the shadows inside the egg for veins and/or heartbeat.  If there is no movement such as this, the egg is either not fertile or it has died.

Answer 5

Before anyone can answer your question What kind of egg is it.?

As all birds have a different hatching cycle

A Cockatiel egg will take 21 days to hatch. They will go darker in color if you hold over a strong light you will see that it is cloudy if there is a young bird in .if it is still looking clear after 10 days,then there is no young in it.

But to be honest you are giving yourself a lot of hard work and sleepless nights,rearing a baby from the shell is time consuming and in some cases will end in disappointment.

So think long and hard.

Answer 6

mmmm scrambled eggs!!

Answer 7

I dont think there is any way to tell when an egg will hatch, but you can look up the average time span of when an egg will hatch and judge if it will hatch or not by that!

Answer 8

Candle the egg and if you can see the embryo it kinda looks like a spider web, if that's there then there is a bird developing.
