cockatiel breeding?

Question

I have 6 cockatiels eggs...one chick has already been born....how long will it take the the next egg to hatch....

Answer 1

Amazing! Congratulations for you!

I bred my cockatiels a few times when I was in highschool and I numbered the eggs and recorded all the important dates and wrote a report about it junioryear. Baby cockatiels are some of the sweetest chicks on the face of the earth, lol, although they're definitely a little for a couple of weeks, but in an adorable kind of way.

Female cockatiels tend to lay their eggs every other day and the chicks hatch in the same pattern. In my experience you'll hear the chick within the egg start to chirp almost exactly 24 hoursbefore it hatches, so if you have chirping egges that's a good sign that you'll see another chick sometime the next day.

There was one chick once (you might call him the runt of the clutch) who chirped for almost two days within his egg and didn't seem able to break out of the shell by himself and I was getting afraid for him because the chirps were getting fainter, so we ended up taking the egg out of the box and peeling him out of his shell, but that's very much a last resort kind f thing because you can hurt the chick that way. Every once in a while they need a little help though, and it's good to know that that's possible.

It's possible that one or twoeggs in the clutch (especially because you have so many) may not hatch, and it's a good idea to keep the nest area as germ free as possible by removing those eggs if you can, but you should wait at least ten or twelve days from now to do that so that you can make sure even the youngest egg has had time to hatch.

Good luck!!!

Answer 2

Sometime they will hatch close together, but most of the time 24 to 48 hours before another one will hatch but don't expect them all to hatch, many many times only one or 2 will hatch and you are blessed if more than that are born and survive to weening age. My moto is, Be happy with who the good LORD blesses you with that hatch and make it threw baby hood to grow up to be your pet. And don't set your heart on something so bad that if it doesn't work out, your heart gets broken. The pain of heart break just isn't worth all the hype. Begin right now feeding wheat bread and KAYTEE hand feeding formula wet to the parents for the most nutrition you can offer them right now for best results.

My fallow male and my pearl pied female hatched out 4 babies this week! I am so happy! I also feed my birds parakeet and canary pellets plus a mixer of all nuts with millet spray. With 4 babies to feed they need extra food in their cage 24/7 especially clean water. I just wait until these babies open their eyes and begin rocking back and forth as if to say, "KEEP AWAY!" Thats when I'll take them out daily to hand feed them and let their parents rest a few times a day with the feedings I give them. By 4 weeks old they will be ready to hand feed off the spoon and take away from the parent but still spend their nights in the box with mom and dad. At 5 to 6 weeks old they will be pulled completely, by this time the parents will have been breeding again and laying more eggs forgetting all about the feeding of the older babies. I will be doing that from then on out. I cant WAIT! {:O) ok ill shut up LOL!

Answer 3

It usually takes an average of 21 days for a baby to hatch from the date is was laid. Sometimes cocktails can have a week or more between eggs. Just remember when it was laid and 21 days later you should expect a baby. If it goes a few days longer don't worry. Sometimes their lazy a little.

Answer 4

you will possibly be able to place a woman and male mutually in a similar cage. yet, do no longer provide them a next field till the female is over three hundred and sixty 5 days previous. provide them a cage sufficiently enormous to absolutely extened their wings with out hitting something interior. once you notice a lot of nuzzling, preening and different romantic habit you are able to upload the nest field. word that the 1st snatch of eggs might no longer be fertile. do no longer enable them to reproduce year around. Take the subsequent field out after 2 or 3 clutches. confirm to have cullte bone accessible for calcium. This helps produce healthful reliable egg shells.

Answer 5

They usually hatch a couple of days apart.
