Question
my female and male lovebird had 3 eggs. one egg hatched and is now 2-3 weeks old. she has small specks of feathers and she is a black masked African lovebird like her parents. only one egg hatched but all of the eggs were laid a week or shorter apart. i don't know what to do with the other two eggs. my mom touched the eggs and one hatched(the same one that survived today)but the other two wont hatch. should i leave the eggs alone or what should i do?????this is my first time with lovebird eggs.please help!!

Answer
The eggs will hatch at about the same spacing as they were laid, so if they week apart you can expect it to hatch approximately a week later if not more than the others.

I would leave them be for awhile, especially she is still incubating them....they won't all hatch at the same time.

Hope this helps!

Blessings,
