QuestionI put in a nest bow about 2 weeks ago and my female parakeet already has one egg and is sitting on it will it be fertile how can i check
AnswerIts a bit odd that she's incubating if she only has one. How long ago did she lay this one? Budgies, if its a normal healthy clutch, will lay an egg every other day for around a week. If she's been sitting on the single egg for a while, I wouldn't hold my breath. You can check it with a flashlight when the female leaves the nest if its been more than a week. If its been more than 3 weeks, its almost always a dud.
