Canary FAQ

Posted by Melinda on May 06, 2004 at 00:37:07:

I purchased a proven pair of cockatiels recently and, much to my delight, they laid 5 eggs. Because my mother is superstitious I was not allowed to look inside the nest box so I couldn't see at what interval they were laid. To make a long story short 4 hatched and one didn't. The first one hatched so far apart from the last one that its huge with lots of "pre feathers" and the smallest doesn’t even have its eyes open yet. since they hatched so far apart do you think there still might be a chance for this last egg? I did take it out and put it next to a light bulb and saw that it was dark in the middle and it has an air spot, and it is gray (I don't know if that helps, I just figured I should say it). Is there hope for the last egg? And when do you think I should take it out if there isn’t any? Thank for the help!
