What to do with fertilised unwanted eggs

[cindypanny]

Hi, my parrot laid fertilised eggs, I don't want them and I cannot separate my parrots because they will become depressed, I've tried before and it wouldn't work out.

My parrot is a green cheek conure who already laid 3 eggs, one is being developed and I want to get rid of them asap, how do I get rid of them without the mother knowing?

Also I can't buy dummy eggs as they are offsale and the only ones that are on sale will take months to come.

Any advice? thanks

You can boil the eggs, let them cool to room temp then put them back.

Yep, boil and put back She might be mad for 20 minutes but having her eggs back she should be okay again.

Be sure to mark the boiled eggs with a pen or pencil so if any new eggs are laid, it is easy to tell which ones have already been boiled.

Check each day or every other day for new eggs.

Also, go ahead and buy dummy eggs for the future. It'll happen again, ya know?

So smart! I never would have thought of that!

I learned that trick when I was trying to let one of my broody chickens hatch some eggs. The other hens liked the nestbox she was sitting in, so they would keep sneaking in to lay more eggs!

Finally, I got smart and marked the ones I wanted to keep and then it was a simple matter to remove any extras. Kind of the opposite of this situation, but the same technique will work.

Parrots will continue to lay while incubating their clutch, so it is important to check regularly for more eggs.
