How exciting! Why don't you candle the egg to see if it is fertile? Good Luck and Best Wishes!

[leyston]

I don't know what you mean by 'candle the egg', but I don't want to handle it. I would be afraid to break it.

I don't know what you mean by 'candle the egg', but I don't want to handle it.

:) To candle an egg you just shine a flashlight on the egg and you can see if it is fertile. :)

[Amy]

In a dark room.

[Budgie_Birthday]

Oh yeah I forgot! :)

[bluebird]

Usually by the 6th day of breeding you can determine if an egg is fertile.if you have a thin pair of gloves put them on.you hold the egg against a bright light,a pocket flashlight or small torch.if the egg is fertile you should see a dark embryo, and bright red blood vessels.unfertilized eggs are clear. hope this helps you.

I will keep my fingers crossed I would not touch it either...good luck.

[Amy]

:D Keep us updated!

[Rosie]

Congratulations!! You must be feeling soooo excited!

[leyston]

I am! Now I am watching my other pair for signs of impending eggs! They are so much slower... I thought they would be the first to lay, but I was wrong. Now we have 2 eggs!

[Amy]

Yippee! Congrats!

[Budgie_Birthday]

Hooray!!! :)

[Amy]

How long did it take from mating to laying?

[leyston]

From the last time that I saw them mating, it was about 9 days. So, I am sure they mated after that!

[Amy]

Well it could have been the mate you saw that was sucessful.

[Mistyoriline]

Awwwe just so happy for you 3:)

[leyston]

3 eggs and counting!!!! They are the most beautiful things I have ever seen! I hope at least one of them hatches!!:D

[jonathanH]
