cockatiels egg sitting

Question
"Mom cockatiel laid 6 eggs every other day starting October 6th. Both mom and dad have been sitting faithfully on these eggs.  Yesterday, October 26th, they just stopped.  Do you have any idea why? Is it still possible for any of these
eggs to hatch? Please let me know ASAP.  Thank you"


Answer
You can try to incubate the eggs yourself, but if a pair just stops sitting on them, the eggs are probably bad. Usually the parents either will not sit on the eggs at all (bad parenting, and the eggs usually are fine) or ONE parent will stop sitting on the eggs (bad parenting again, they get better with time) but when BOTH stop sitting on the eggs, you can be pretty sure that something is wrong with the eggs. You can try to incubate them, but I wouldn't bother. Just throw the eggs out and let them try again.
