Hi, Welcome to Talk Budgies!
The purpose of this forum is to promote the BEST PRACTICES in the care of budgies for their optimal Health and Well-Being
Locating an Avian Veterinarian
Please provide us with additional information as we know nothing about you, your experience or why you have the egg in an incubator instead of letting your budgie(?) incubate it.
We don't normally respond to questions regarding breeding until we have a good background of the individual.
Before breeding any species, it is important to learn as much about the animals, their personalities, and the best practices to follow for responsible and ethical breeding prior to making the commitment to take on the responsibility.
Domestic budgies are much healthier and happier when they are never bred.
How long have you owned budgies?
How old are the budgies you allowed to breed?
Do you have any experience with breeding?
Are you using an individual breeding cage for the pair?
Are you using a proper nest box with a concave bottom?
Are you certain the birds are not related?
What specific diet do you have them on at this time?
What are you planning to do with any offspring?
Do you have an Avian Vet?
Do you know how to properly hand feed a chick should something unforeseen happens?
The optimal temperature and humidity for incubation of budgie eggs is 98.2 F and 65% humidity
An egg incubated below the optimal temperature range will hatch late.
Because of the low temperature, the humidity level will also be affected.
The chick may not absorb its yolk sac, which can significantly reduce its chances of survival.
Please take the time to read through the Site Guidelines, the FAQs, the Budgie Articles and all of the Stickies located at the top of each section of the forum.
