how long does it take for atiel eggs to hatch.

Comment #1 Alan (64.76.39.117) -

From: http://www.cockatielcottage.net/breeding.html

"Cockatiel eggs will hatch 18-21 days after actually nesting began. Candle the eggs on day 5 of nesting to see if they are fertile."

It's a little more involved than just waiting a couple weeks, so check out that website for losts of info.

Comment #2 Mike (64.76.35.26) -

That was SUCH a big help! I had no idea all that was involved. We have had this pair together in a cage, not PURPOSELY to breed. When the eggs appeared, I thought I had better get started researching. Thanks again...great website.

Comment #3 kelly (152.163.35.184) -

Cockatiel eggs take 21 days to hatch. The parents take turns and continue to sit until the chicks are nearly fully feathered (around 4 weeks after hatching).

Comment #4 KateyBate (66.227.233.47) -

What does it mean to candle the eggs? I have never heard of this before.

Comment #5 MissyG (64.136.27.228) -

Isn't candling eggs just holding them up in front of a candle flame so you can look inside and see if there is an embryo?

Maybe its done with a normal light these days?

Comment #6 endora (24.45.126.104) -

So they can have an egg without an embryo? Is the egg just empty inside then or still have other yucky things inside? I never knew of this test. I would assume that you couldnt get to close to the heat source or should the egg stay warm?

Comment #7 carlee mcclard (64.12.116.11) -

my mom has two cockatiels at her house one female and one male. well, she laid 2 eggs and has been laying on them and wont let anyone near her, and the other day she laid another egg. what do we do with the eggs and how do we know if she is sick from egg binding? she we separate the two birds? they dont get along anyways.

Comment #8 Sams from Petzone -

Candling egss is ok, but I think whether or not the eggs are hatchable can be known by the weighing them in you palm. If it's hatchable then it can be easily known by the weight the egg has.

Comment #9 Muds (207.47.197.102) -

Candling is important. I have hatched many, many eggs on my own in my incubator and I found that candling is a necessity for more than a few reasons. For one, it's important for the egg to be rotated a few times at least once a day, and the parents get off to let the egg cool every once in a while. This is also good for the embryo inside. Also, if you're hatching a clutch, finding out when an egg is bad as soon as possible is important, for a contaminated egg can make the other embryos ill. If you're hatching the eggs yourself, it's also important to talk to the eggs later on in incubation - mostly during hatching. Their parents urge them on and sometimes a baby won't hatch without that encouragement.

Comment #10 wildcard from the swamp -

Candling is great. You have to do it for hatching any birds because a bad egg will cause problems. I have heard a number of reasons for this including that a bad one can make the others sick, and also that when that egg doesn't hatch then the parents wil keep sitting it and they can ignore or injure the other chicks. I don't know how much of that is true but I never left a bad one around long enough to find out.

Candling is also used extensively on commercial chicken eggs to make sure that you don't crack open a half developed chicken when you go to make breakfast.

Comment #11 Elmari (61.229.96.61) -

It's been 10 days since 3 eggs were laid. I tried candling today and only saw a small round yellow part on the side of each egg. Did I candle it properly? Are my birds sitting on the eggs? Is it too soon to tell? Do the eggs still have a chance? Are both cockatiels female? Please help.

Comment #12 rebecca (205.188.117.12) -

well u can use a regular light to candel a egg. i have 4 cockatiels 2 are boys and 2 are girls the way u can tell if it is a girl or a boy is under the wings the girl has littel yellow dotes and the males do not.

Comment #13 Rebecca (205.188.117.12) -

well i have 3 eggs they were laid every other day and the one hatched a week ago and the other 2 eggs dident hatch yet is that a bad sighn or do i jest wait?

Comment #14 Rebecca (205.188.117.12) -

also when should i take the babie away from the mother and start handfeeding them? and what do i feed them?

Comment #15 Kitsune~Chan (65.11.233.149) -

My cockatiel has laid and egg...it's been two days...how much longer should it take?

Comment #16 Ronald (70.107.133.242) -

Hey I have three cockatiels in one cage and 2 are male. the female layed an egg but hardly warms it up. i candled it and it looks like its growing something inside..To me it looks like a slow process because they layed it a while ago but the embryo doesnt seem dead. Should i just leave the egg for acouple of more days?

Comment #17 Aleta Evangelo (24.9.247.21) -

I have three cockatiels. 2 Boys and one girl. The girl just laid a rather large amount of eggs. 8 actually. Only 2 remained intact. The others broke since she was on a perch in the cage when she laid them. All three birds take turns just rolling the eggs around. It's like they know they need to do something but can't figure out what to do with the eggs. They have yet to actually sit on the eggs. How long should I keep the eggs in the cage before I should take them out?

How can I get the birds to get the idea to sit on the eggs?

Comment #18 Tina (68.97.151.47) -

I was candling an egg this afternoon and accidently dropped one on the carpet. it didn't crack and still seems to be in good repair. i am worried that I damaged the embroy in some way. Should i remove the egg and assume that I did damage or should I go ahead and give it back to the mom? I gave it back and now I don't know which egg is which. I am also worried that if the egg is damaged it will damage the other eggs.

I just found a bird egg on the ground. It's a little cracked from the fall and it's still a little warm. It's only 3/4 of an inch and a very pretty baby blue. What do I do to keep it alive. I made a little nest for it with a heating pad under a thick sweater. Other than that, I don't even know what kind of bird it could be or what I should do to help it.

HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!

Comment #32 Big Dog from The Woods -

What I would do of course is eat them.... but I don't think that is the answer you are looking for.

Better to call your wildlife department, but do not touch.

Comment #33 cat (207.189.193.211) -

I found a egg on 4/30/07 it has small spots on it. The spots are blue with black. What kind is it? When i candled it it had a darker spot at the top does that mean it has a forming baby bird? How long does it take to hatch?

Comment #34 CELESTE (207.189.193.211) -

I agree with big dog from th woods that you should call the wildlife department. If he or she was talking about the goose eggs because if you hatch it and feed it would get atached to humans and if you set it free it will depend on humans to take care of it.

we put the nest box on the cage after our cockatiels mated an she would not let him in and she has laid 2 eggs so far every time he goes near the box she gets aggressive with him and even chases him around the cage bitting at him. any suggestions? thank you.

Comment #57 Shaun (80.6.151.140) -

Hi my cockatiels have been mating for 2 months and have finally layed an egg!!! :D

they dont seem to lay on it as much as i though, my female doesnt seem to be interested but the male is, he is very defense and quite to bite you if you go near him. im unsure when they layed the egg but i know that the male goes in every 10 minuites of every day, but the egg is in a nesting bow with alot of cotton wool, so will the egg still hatch???

is it ok to touch the egg or by doing this will they abandon the egg?

if i am able to handle it could i use the flash on my phone which is really bright and i can keep it on for ages. but if i can hold it and use the flash, what should i look for and what will tell me that the egg is unfertilised.

also will the cockatiels regurjatate their food for the chick or just bring it food??

thank you

I have four cockatiels and two have recently had their first clutch. The first egg was laid on Thanksgiving of 2007 and the eleventh egg was laid last week. (Today is Christmas Day) It is very obvious one of the eggs has a nearly ready to hatch baby in it due to the color change and how you can see the chick touching the inside of the shell in a few places. I am very excited to see them hatch and am going to candle the others when I get a chance. What a wonderful and exciting process!!

We found four robbin eggs outside today. We don't have an incubater. I filled a container with grass and put the eggs inside. Every twenty to thirty minutes, I emove the eggs and heat the grass in a microwave oven for five to ten seconds, and then I replace the eggs. How else can I help them? Am I doing the right thing? I DO NOT put the EGGS in the MICROWAVE! I don't want to cook them. How do I hatch them? It's been hot here. They aren't cracked. I keep a flashlight on them. Please tell us what to do, and quickly! It's urgent.

My bff Cierra and I found a small whitish light blue egg with tiny black speckles on it. We're wondering what type of bird it came from. We've already made a small room for it in a jewelery box about 6" tall [not encluding the lid which is about 2" tall] and 10"around each of the sides. We put thick unused socks and some toilet paper in it and placed the egg under one sock and left the lid slightly opened. To keep it warm we put 2 or 3 socks in the drier or we warmed up the box with a hair drier and closed the lid to lock the heat in. That gets done every morning, afternoon, before bed, and when ever we can. Its been living with us for a little over a day. I cant wait till it hatches, but will it? Tell us everything we've been doing wrong and tell us any...everything we can do. I want this precious little egg to hatch more than anything else[except for having my cat come back to life].

PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK!!!!!

I found 4 eggs in a grill outside are home about 2 weeks agao. I have been checking on them ever since. about two days ago I noticed that an eggs was gone and found a broke egg shell in another part of are yard. I asummed another animal got it. Well I have noticed that the mother has'nt been coming to take care of them so a friend of mine said I could candle on of them. So I took an eggs out and before I even got it in the house I tripped with it. The egg crashed on the ground cracking it open I seen that there was Yolk all over kind of a yellow color like a chicken egg you would eat. Then I notice an embryo with eyes. I felt so bad I was just trying to look out for them and my caringness caused it's death now there are only 2 eggs left and they are cold now. Since I have touched the nest now the mother won't take care of them so could they still be alive and what do I do to take care of the remaining 2 that are left.

I just found 3 eggs in a nest yesturday and people said the mother hadn't come back because someone touched them. So I picked them up and brought them home. I used a light to see if they were fertile and only one was. So I put it in a box with a bunch of fluff and a lamp over it to keep it warm. WHAT DO I DO NOW? PLEASE HELP!!

i just took in some abandoned geese eggs. the mother left them and they have been by themselves for like 4 days. i just took them in and i but a lot of blankets and and towels around them. i have a heating pad under them. i dont know if they will survive or not. one or two eggs are kind of leaking. does that mean their dead?

I found a Robin's egg on the ground yesterday, and it was still warm, so I brought it home with me and have been keeping it under three heat lamps. How do I know if it's alive?

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Today I found a nest that was on top of a light above my outside door on the ground with the little embryos on the ground, they are alive and right now im keeping them warm under a lamp. I am pretty sure they hatched today because there is no evidence of broken shells. My family is trying to figure out what to do, but if anyone knows please respond!!!!!!

thanks

you are doing a good job, a good idea is that if you found them and you are keeping them warm thats good. what are you feeding them? you need to feed them mushy stuff like worms or bugs, keep doing what you are doing!

My biology teacher found an egg which she thinks is a robins egg. She told me to take it home and take care of it. I brought it home today and i dont have an incubater so i have it in a little box with holes and bigger holes right above the egg for the light from a lamp. I was wondering if there is any other way to help keep it warm? I have heard of people putting it in a fishtank like thing with a heating pad and light. I had a hermit crab in it but now it is empty. Should I put it on a heating pad with light of so at which temp. or should I do something else? Anyone with the slightest info please help.
