Eggs


How long can my parakeets eggs survive, if she left the nest for over an hour and still has not returned?


Answer:

Hi,

It depends on how developed the eggs are. But generally, once they have had time to get cold, the embryo dies unfortunately. I know this is a hard lesson to learn, but many owners make the same mistake.

Take care,

Brenda
