cassie4274 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 This my first time on the forum, and wanted to know if anyone can tell me what I need to do, all along we have call our grey LUTHER, but at 14yrs old LUTHER laid (his): :laugh: egg, do I build her a nesting box or leave her alone, she was really acting strange for around 1 month previous to the new egg.

danmcq Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Leave the egg with her for around 28 days. That is the normal incubation period and will give "HER" time to spend mothering it. After that you can take it out. Welcome to the Forum!! We'll look forward to hearing more from you!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMustee Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 After the 28 days, they know it's not going to hatch. My owl finches eggs never hatch and after the 2 weeks they stop sitting on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaFawkes Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Good advice everyone!!! I also pull my eggs after 28 or 29 days....I actually had one hatch on the 29th day once!! I was shocked!! It was a lovebird egg not a grey egg, but I was going to get it out and there was another baby in the box!! LOL! But since there is no chance of your being fertile, 28 days is perfect!!!
