    Fertile cockatiel eggs should hatch 18-21 days after the parents start laying on them. The dented egg had broke and I removed it so there are two left. Today is day 22 and I can't find any info on how much longer I should let the parents set, when to take them and how?..does anyone here know?

    Chip and Jellybean have been so diligent in caring for these eggs, I know it's going to be heartbreaking when I have to remove them .

    Aww Mare, I think it might be hard on you too. Don't stress, let nature take it's course. I'm sure they will have no problem in trying again~

    Thank you for the response, Alice . The decision to ditch their eggs and nest box is a tough one. I know I can't just let them keep going. I suppose I was hoping someone had a manual for "how to"...how do you live with the guilt of being the person to dump the nest..

    I could probably ask Tim to do it.. I'm so sad right now

    Well if the eggs aren't fertile then your dumping empty shells . Maybe you can distract Chip and Jellybean so they don't see you do it?

    I was doing some research found some info on talk cockatiels' =some members were they had some hatch at 28 days .parents don't always start sitting/incubation right away. also depends on time of year. Maybe wait for a few more days to be sure.

    You could go 30 days. They will keep mating if not separated for a while. It's not unusual for first time parents to miss. Big hug to you. Do you want them to try again?
