    My budgie laid eggs on the floor
    I have a budgie she laid her first egg in the nest then the next one in the food plate and the third and fourth ones on the floor ( each one in a different day )I put all of them in the nest but the weird thing happened when I found the fourth egg which was on the floor I took it I saw a tiny crack on it but after I put back on the nest on their sleep time I found the same egg on the floor of the cage but was cracked even more I don't know what happened

    It's a dud and your bird knows it. Best to just get rid of it. It will distress her if you keep putting it in the nest. You don't want her to waste energy tossing the egg.

    I thought about that but I don't know who threw it out I thought maybe the male did and besides she put it with the others and sat on it normally... but the male enters the nest a lot he sometimes play with the eggs and kissing the female or feeding her will he harm any of the eggs?

    I looked for a site that would be able to explain everything in greater detail.

    I read through this and they really know their stuff. Great info here.

    I hope this helps. :)

    The male budgie prevents the female from eating?
    I have 2 budgies and the female laid eggs but whenever she comes out to eat or drink something the male keeps kissing her or playing with her and pinches her tail and *** and when she enters the nest he enters with her what do I do with him he keeps preventing her from eating and sitting on her eggs?

    Get another cage and remove him until later on.

    I'm so glad. Please let me know how it all goes. We'd love pictures of the babies once they hatch. :)

    They sit on eggs for about 18 days. After a month and a half they were not going to hatch. She's throwing them out because she can't hatch them and/or doesn't want to hatch them and/or they were "duds."

    An ARM was coming out of the egg?

    You are leaving "dud" eggs in the nest too long.

    EDIT: You have posted this same question several times. I have asked that they be combined.

    How old are you?

    She doesn't want them to hatch?? Why would she want to get rid of them? I didn't leave them too long the moment I found it I threw them away... I couldn't just open the nest and take the eggs and threw them away they seem fine and they were white and there wasn't a crack on any of them...
    I didn't post this several times the internet broke down and when I pressed post it kept posting so many times and I couldn't stop that but thanks anyway for combining them
    I am 17 but why are you asking??

    You said "then after a month and a half waiting for the rest of them to hatch I saw today ..." They are only viable for 18 days, yet you kept them for 45 (give or take).

    Why didn't she want them to hatch? Read my answer again. All the reasons are posted there. They don't have to be cracked to be duds.

    I asked your age because of the text speak. Your posts on this subject weren't all the same day.

    Possibly, eventually. Did you read the site that was posted for your info?

    She laid another egg today but I found it in the cage not in the nest it was cracked and not very white but it was big, well bigger than the previous ones... I don't understand why are the eggs she lays duds? It is so weird.. Is there anything I can do about that? I am sorry I keep asking you lots of questions you are probably annoyed by me but I don't have much information in this field :)

    I'm not annoyed with you. I'm just not sure you are reading the site that was posted for you.

    Is she with a male? Are the eggs fertilized?

    She could become egg bound - this is something to watch for.
