conure hen laying eggs

[crimson]

curious....how soon does a conure hen start sitting on the eggs??
she's laid one and due to lay another tomorrow.

they are mating like crazy

I know with cockatiel and lovebirds, it ranges from the first to the 3rd egg.

is it the same with conures?.... they are yellowside, and cinnamon.

As far as I know they're the same! I have people asking me to raise other kinds other then tiels and I said no. Just don't have time and I don't do it to get back into breeding again. Since I just raise enough to help to pay part of their food cost. Plus I do enjoy the babies.....

I wanna see pictures when they hatch!!!!

That's so exciting, Beth!

I've had this pair since last summer, got them dna'd just to make sure they were a 'pair'
I had just about given up on them, then I saw them going at it three days ago.....
ever since I put the nesting box up.....sometimes that triggers them to mate just for recreation, rather than producing.

anyways, we will wait and see. I've learned just cause they lay doesn't mean your going to get viable babies....but one can always hope!!

Sometimes they incubate right away on the first egg. but some pairs start incubating when the second egg or third. Hope i helped!

2 days ago I finally got a chance to check the eggs to see if they were fertile.

she laid 5 eggs, and 4 are fertile!!
