My parakeet laid another egg to her 5 that she laid 25 days ago??? Can someone help me?

Question

Alright I have a male and a female parakeets. They have mated and she laid 5 eggs every other day like 25 days ago, shes been laying on the eggs but so far they haven't hatched and I noticed few days ago she would come out and they would mate again and today I noticed the 6th egg??? Whats going on? I am so confused!

Answer 1

Parakeet eggs, if they are fertile, will hatch in about 18 days.  Take one egg, when she is out of the way and hold it up to a light.  If it is fertile, you will be able to see something other than a yolk.

If it is not fertile, remove the eggs and the breeding box and build up your female with vitamins and let them try again.
