infertile egg

hi my cockatiel just laid an infertile egg yesterday. My question is should i remove the egg from her?

Hi Valeria,

You can let her sit on the egg, but you should not let her have a nest or anything she can sit in. She should just sit on it on the cage grate or the floor of the ac if there isn’t a grate. She may lay up to 8, with a day between each egg.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
