female ringneck still sitting on infertile eggs
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2015 3:08 pm
hello everyone,
my lutino ringneck peaches laid three eggs about a month ago. she doesn't have a mate. from what i've read it seems that at some point the bird should realize the eggs are infertile and lose interest in incubating them, correct? at roughly what time should this occur? as of today, it's been 28 days since she started sitting. i'm wondering if i should remove them since it's been longer than the normal incubation period, or if that will cause her to lay more.
thanks!
