how long does itr take for a cockatiel to hatch chicks2007-11-24 17:21:39

cought my birds at it other day haha just wondered when ill be seeing results lol

Answers:

The eggs take roughly 19-21 days to hatch after being laid, and a female will lay an egg every 24-48 hours.

Please be aware that same sex birds will perform copulatory behaviour and that not all mating leads to the laying of fertile eggs. Females will lay unfertilised eggs, even with the absence of males. The source I've included goes into detail on nestboxes etc. that should be provided.

Hi, it generally takes around 21 days after the 2nd egg is laid. Good luck !

it takes about 18 -21 days for eggs to hatch, what use to happen when i was breeding cocktails was the hen would lay one egg then start to sit when the second egg was laid. what you find then is that the first and second eggs will hatch on the same day and third egg about 24 hours later the fourth will hatch 24 - 48 hours later because the chick will now be needing as much heat of parents since they have no feathers.

you need to keep the peat moist in the nest box, this will stop the peat drying out and clogging up the nostrils of the chicks.

if you are lucky enough for the parents allow to handle the chicks, they generally turn out to be quite tame, and you can feed the smallest chick, if you have a greedy chick in the nest box. just give the parent is a good diet and you should have very problems.

hope you enjoy see the chicks

21-24 days from the first egg laid.
