Green Cheek Conure Ate Her Own Egg.?

Question

I have a 3 year old green cheek conure. She lays eggs twice a year and she usually sits on them for 3 weeks. This time she ate one of the eggs that had a crack in it.

She is not breeding. These are unfertilized eggs.

Is this normal? Or should we supplement her diet with something she is missing?

Answer 1

It is not uncommon and she may be lacking calcium in her diet. Try her with some cuttle bone. Females need more calcium when they are laying. Good luck!
