what are your parakeets, obviously one female. what are the others.if you have a pair breeding I suggest you pull the other one out, that is if you do want to breed.
You do really need to put a nest box of some kind in the cage, but if not just pull the eggs as they are layed, and everything will be OK
If I can be of futher assistance feel free to email me

If, the female is sitting, I just leave them alone now. Moving the egg to a nesting box may or may not work. Try to identify the Female, and remove the bird that seem out of place. If, the cage large enough, they may all be OK together, but, keep an eye on things and if fighting start, try to remove the one the Female not respond well too.

The egg needs to be kept at a constant temp to keep the fertilized alive. Unfortunately unless you have bedding and/or a nest there is no hope for it. A nesting box usually costs between $12-14 and the nesting material can be shredded paper (free).
Good luck!

Do not touch the egg, mama will eat it. Put some nesting material in the cage. If it is fertilized, Mama will know what to do.
Good luck!

If one of your birds is laying eggs, you need to
a) separate out the males
b) make sure your bird is getting at least 12 hours of sleep at night
c) make sure she has enough sources of calcium
d) rearrange her cage, give her some new toys
Budgies lay eggs every other day. Hopefully with the advice I gave she won't lay more than two. Good luck!

It wont hatch. You need a breeder box if you want to raise keets. Separate the third party first.
