This is one of the eggs which didn't hatch. "Not something new LOL ;D" Just wonder what reason we can conclude by looking at it. It was dry and not stinky at all. Attachments:

I don't think the egg was incubated corrrectly BB Thanks Barrie I was thinking of possible reasons but didn't think of this one, as two eggs from the same clutch hatched. So in future, what can be done to facilitate the proper incubation. |

don't handle eggs anymore than necessary, as this can kill the embryo,if you do lift eggs never touch the ends as this is where the airsac is
i like to keep nest box inspection down to once a day, at approx the same time,and tap on the box lightly before opening so not to frighten/disturb the hen to quickly,once i see all is well shut up and leave her to it.

Thanks for your input Ian Well, I have a few rules with regards to breeding pairs... I don't handle eggs at all, no marking etc. I don't force the hen out, just wait for her to come out on her own. Almost all of them do so early in the morning. No cleaning of the nest box until all eggs hatch or go beyond hatch date. But it is always good to ask Barrie for some advice. His years of experience with budgies is more than my age. |

Budgies Buddy: I also do exactly same as you said. it is good idea to leave them by their own.
But I want to add that I always keep an eye on them, without disturbing them.
