Eggs are not fertile


My finches give eggs but babies not come out i check my finches eggs are not fertile how i get fertile eggs from them


Answer:

Hi Fahad,

Breeding does not always result in fertile eggs. Your birds need to be on a good nutritionally balanced diet including leafy greens, chopped veggies and cooker eggs, with the shell cleaned and cooked with the eggs. I would take the nest away and rest them for a couple of months and then try again. If this was their first clutch, it is very normal for it to not be fertile. Be sure to remove the nest between clutches and rest the pair. It’s best to only let them have 2 clutches per year, with a 6 month rest between each clutch.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
