My condolences on the loss of your sister.
We don’t actually know what the diet is. The OP didn’t say - just that she’d supplemented it recently.
She wasn’t breeding anything. Her late sister was.
Is there a bird club or rescue in your area? An avian vet could give your contact info to some experienced breeders. So could a pet store.
I don’t know about breeding, but think you need in person help. It sounds like you may not know at least one of the species too. Some of the folks here could help with that. How many pairs of birds did you inherit? Are they all breeder birds or were any kept as pets?
Welcome to the Avenue, despite the unfortunate circumstances.
First off, I would like to thank you for being understanding of the situation. It is much appreciated.
As far as the birds that have been inherited there are five cockatiels. One blue crowned conure. A peach faced conure. There is a pair of conures that are either pineapple, cinnamon, yellow sided, etc, their is a single that is similar in color they all have grey/tan heads. Their is a pair of sun conures. There are two that were hatchlings and we're hand fed that are either jenday or something similar, they have heads similar to the sun's but have green wings. They are very loud as well. In total their are 5 pairs, 4 singles, and 5 baby cockatiels that were hand fed. I can post pictures if someone can help to identify them.
I know that blue crown at one point was a pet, but she hasn't been handled in while as she doesn't seem to like me very much and I'm intimidated by her beak size, lol.
I was planning on selling all the birds but I can't find their papers and even though I had someone come out to identify them she really wasn't sure on a lot of them so I'm back where I started. Now I have eggs. I wasn't expecting them to do that but we are rolling with it. And at least now I know that at least two of the pairs are breeders.
Anyways, thank you for your help and understanding. Do you know how long they can go between each egg? Is it ever longer then two days?

Thank for your kind and understanding response. It is much appreciated.
In total there are 19 birds now. Five cockatiels, one blue crown, two sun conures, two possible jendays they are green wings with sun conure color heads and bodies. The rest are a mix of smaller conures that are various colors. They could be green checks, pineapple,cinnamon, yellow side, etc. Some have dark heads, some have a Tanish colored heads. Some have pearl collars, others don't. One of them I believe is a peach face and she talks. Right now four of them are singles. But I think that the bird that's with the peach face could be separated? Several of them were hatchlings when she got themnd were and fed formula which I took over when she passed. I can post pics if someone can help identify them
Also I have great news! I went to check the nesting box with the teal bird in question and decided to check it thoroughly. And to my surprise she had actually laid another egg! I had thought he one viable in the best was the one I had moved from he cage for her, but she actually had laid a new one and had kept the first egg hidden in the best material! What a relief, though! I was really worried there for a while. Anyways, I would like to sell most of the birds, but I need to know what we have and what they are worth as I know my sister spent a lot of money on them. Thousands in total for the whole set up.
Thanks again for your kindness!
