Thanks  #4 arrived 2 days ago. I haven't seen Connie today so don't know if she is going to lay any more or if that is it for her this time round. |

Welcome back meandem. Yes they are both sharing the incubating duties. I don't know if they are any good or not. Should see maybe by this weekend or just after whether or not there will be Sunnies and Connies running about. |

Hmmmmm....Connie is still sitting and no sign of any hatchings. I think she may either have duds or they didn't make it.  I read Conure eggs can take anywhere up to 26 days to hatch. I am guessing she started incubating on the third egg, but even if I take it from the 4th egg, 26 days is this Saturday. I will give her to the middle of next week. Oh well at least eggs are a start |

Here's hoping that they are not duds. At least you still have both parents, so if not this time, maybe next time. We all learn with experience.  |

Well it is official. The eggs were duds. Connie was out of the box for most of yesterday and this morning. I went in for a look and they were cols as and scattered around the box. I took them out and that's when I found they were dud eggs. Oh well , it was good practice for her and she proved that she will stay be a good mum and protect her eggs even if they are no good. Heres hoping next time she will be a successful mum with little mouths to feed. |

That is sad, but the positive side is as you said, she sat and protected eggs - so here's hoping next time you will babes.

Im sure next time will go better for you pinkdevil. The first clutch of eggs usually doesnt go to plan for alot of birds. I have had a couple few this season, so hoping next season will be a bumper!
