Yes, here we go again. But this time, We have an egg!

Here is the lovely couple..

This is Bungie, the male. He is a grey split lutino. 5 years old. (I am praying that he is split to Whiteface and/or Pied [Pied is unlikely, but I can hope])

This is Tayba. She is a Whiteface Cinnamon Pied. She's about 18 months old.


Here is their first egg, it was laid last night. I need to clean the box out. But I am too nervous, I don't want to bug them. This will be Tayba's first clutch.

Aww Congrats on the eggie, I hope it works out for you this time and we see some lovely babies

Just a question though I thought you said in a previous post you were downsizing your flock and only keeping the one cockatiel because you were getting your amazon did you change your mind?

 

[Sarin]

Yeah, I love these guys too much. I'm getting Koba a larger new cage and hopefully getting the spare room to keep all of the birds in. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do but I am, of course, definitely keeping them until the babies are weaned, if they hatch.

If I get the spare room I will have enough room for all birds. And therefore I might keep them.

Congrats on an egg! I hope you end up with a cute little clutch of tiels.

 

[Sarin]

Congrats on the eggs, hope you get a little bub from your clutch.

 

[Sarin]

Thanks. No egg today, the next one is due tomorrow.

Third egg is here:

They really messed up those eggs while I was away.

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

Thats great that you have three eggs They are messy will you carefully wipe them clean or just leave them?

 

[Sarin]

I have always left them be and the babies hatched fine.. As long as I spray my birds every day their damp bellies and with the high humidity, they will be fine. but if they get too messy I would interfere, but it hasn't gotten to that point yet thankfully.

 

[Bea]

I always thought that poopy eggs absorbed bacteria and it could mess around with the chicks development.... Hopefully yours will be alright though!

 

[Sarin]

Yeah, Joey pointed that out so I'll have to clean them today when I candle them.

 

[Sarin]

Update: I candled the three eggs today and sadly it looks like Egg 1 and 2 are infertile. But I could be wrong as the flashlight wasn't very good. I know for sure, though, that egg 3 is fertile, I saw some red veins.

We will see if 1 and 2 are fertile by the end of the month.

 

[Laura]

Good to hear at least one is fertile, hopefully the others are as well

 

[Bea]

What good news that at least one is fertile!

One bub is always better then none
