Green Cheek Conures - Number of Hatchlings

[rwatto]

I believe that conures quite often lay up to 6 eggs but usually only rare 2 or 3, does anyone know why this may be the case. I now have a second pair of conures. It will be interesting how they go as well. Love Conures, they are great birds.

I would appreciate comments on the number of hatchlings.

Hi! How did your first clutch fair?

I've been breeding conures for quite a while now.
If in the case there is only 2-3 eggs are produced, either the birds are very young when they decide to breed, or not enough calcium has been provided.

Out of my pair, in three months I bred 8 nice strong young...........My special mineral and vitamin mix platter is my secret
