The egg is already fertilised if the budgies mated successfully ..........it doesnt happen after its laid. Food and nutrients should be something the parents have been on all along..........varied diet including fruits and vegies. Dont touch the eggs as we can transfer bacteria from our hands that may affect an egg hatching or not. Congrats on the egg Link to comment

You need a small but strong torch and you should be able to see veins, maybe even the heart if the egg is fertile. Link to comment

My male[father] budgie tries to bring out the mother budgie from her nest and tries to mate with her . The 2 of them mated yesterday and day before too. Now there are 2 eggs in the nest ,yet the male budgie calls the female out and tries to mate . The female budgie does not seem to resist it but does not mate for long too. Is this okay? Will this harm /weaken my mother budgie? Link to comment

They do not need to be handled. You may candle the eggs when they are about a week old, with a flexible torch. When she stops laying she will just suddenly not lay one day. Then you wait.

I am able to sense a slight nasty odor when I near the nest. I am not sure what to do with that defective egg and sure why it has turned black. The mother budgie is very very protective and is not letting anybody to approach the nest. What should I be doing now ? Should I clear the defective egg or let the mother budgie itself clear it ?? Will this defective egg harm my newly born budgies' health? Link to comment
