Guys, my female cockatiel Ely is 10 months old. She laid an egg on the cage floor yesterday. She lives in a cage along with Ramu.I got Ramu from a pet shop 5 months ago, that dude said Ramu is 4 months old but then Ramu was still occasionally making baby noises sk U presumed that he was a bit over a month old.(Unsure). So Ramu, my male cockatiel started molting this month and started vocalizing last month. He is somewhere near 6-9 months old and I have never seen Ely and Ramu mate. I was showing Ramu YouTube videos and he started vocalizing and I'm afraid that it might have stimulated Ely to lay an egg. Ely is just very young and I have never ever seen them mate, and they live in the living room so its almost impossible for them to mate without any of us knowing. She's so young and she laid an egg. She has a calcium block and everything in the cage, she gets healthy food, and she's outside the cage for 6 hours a day. What do I do now? She's very young and I want her to be healthy. (PLEASE DON'T JUST REPLY TAKE HER TO THE VET)

Yeah I know. But she's below a year old. That's what worries me.

You should try to candle it. Do you know how to candle an egg?

 

[Shyamala]

Yesss. The egg is 3 days old. Thoughts?

 

[NathalieT]

Yesss. The egg is 3 days old. Thoughts?

Well, I didn’t know how old the egg was, so you can’t really be sure rn, you have to wait for the 7th day. Bishop you cockatiel taking care of it?

 

[Shyamala]

Actually she wasn't. But today she was sitting on the floor beside it. Here it's 38° C, I've had budgie eggs before which it's mom refused to incubate and still it hatched. So I guess I'll wait for another 4 days.🐦

Ok, is it in an incubator?

 

[Shyamala]

Nope. It needn't be. Eggs hatch here at room temperature.

 

[NathalieT]

Nope. It needn't be. Eggs hatch here at room temperature.

That’s weird

 

[Shyamala]

Ikr. When my budgie eggs did even without the mom sitting on it at all, I was shocked. I googled about it but couldn't find much. Then it happened again. All 4 eggs hatched that way.
