Hello people, my Quaker parrot just had an egg and I don't know if I should take the egg out cause she doesn't seem interested in the egg. This is her third egg that she has laid. She laid her first on May 22 and she laid one yesterday and today. The first two unfortunley crack at the bottom of the cage. So my question was if I should take this egg out cause she doesn't seem interested to sit on it??

Hens may not always start incubating their eggs until they have 2-3 to sit on.

Since she's still laying eggs, there's a trigger to her egg laying. If you remove the egg, you *must* also remove the triggers to egg laying. Otherwise, she'll only keep laying eggs.
