I have a pair of ringnecks that are on their second clutch of eggs. In their first clutch, they gave me 2 babies, had 1 infertile egg and one egg that the chick died in. All eggs were the same size.

This clutch they again have four eggs, however they are different sizes. There is one large one, 2 "regular sized ones" and one small one. One of the regular sized ones and the small one appear to be fertile. Is this normal to have different sized eggs?
My other pair is sitting on their second clutch as well and their eggs are the same size. Please let me know what you think.

Yes, it is common to get different shaped eggs.
I have a friend you swears that the pointy eggs are cocks, and the rounded eggs are hens. She has been using this method for years, and has always sexed the birds this way. But, it is hard to keep track of which baby came from which egg etc.

wow thats crazy i never heard of that kind of stuff in any birds
