Eggs not hatching

I have 2 green cheek Conyers. I didn’t realize they were both a male and female period now I’ve got 4 eggs, and she has been sitting on them for past 20 days now and it’s over the time that they should have hatched period what can I do? What should Ido?

Hi,

The normal incubation period is 22-25 days, from the time each egg is laid. So the last egg laid will hatch a week later than the first egg. You should not do anything with the eggs until 30 days after the last egg was laid, because sometimes they do hatch late.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
