Ask Lafeber

Question:

December 13, 2021

My budgie is sitting on 8 eggs


Will they all hatch??? Will she be able to take care of sooo many.


Answer:

Hi Tara,

That is a lot of eggs for one clutch. She may have laid two clutches. They may or may not hatch. It’s best to leave the pair alone to care for the eggs and just wait to see what happens. The male will help the female, so he needs to be with her.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
