One of my budgies eggs just hatched and im not sure if the mother is feeding it or not? Because she is acting like it is just one of her other eggs.How can I tell wether or not she is feeding it?And how can I feed the babies if she isnt feeding them?

You will see food in the babies crop (the sack of skin below the neck) if the mother is feeding.

 

Here is a link to feeding littleones if the mother doesn't at first ---> Mothers crop milk

Remember to give her ampl chance to feed them

It can be a while before she gives the first feed and if you are constantly checking it might upset her and stop her from doing so.

Agree with MB and Libby

How long ago did it hatch?
