Hi all. As many of you know my one pair of budgie has laid eggs. The first two did never hatch one infertile the other one is not infertile but its yellow with some kind of dark mass in it. The third piped and started to hatch but never finished. The egg sack membrane were attached to the poor baby. Now this is gonna sound weird. (I have only one egg left that is fertile of the 5 that's left in the nest box.)
I candled the egg today and don't know if its egg number 4 or 5. If its egg 4 it should hatch today. My question is what should the egg look like inside if its egg 4 and what should it look like if its egg 5? Should the veins inside the egg still look that weblike or what. I don't have a pic of the candled egg. And the chick inside the egg is moving. Sorry for the long post

For candling, just darken the room and make sure that there is no disturbance to eggs. Keep the torch next to egg and you will sort of see through the egg shell. If the egg is fertile, you will see red veins running through the egg and a dark spot where the chick is developing. If the egg is infertile, you will see just the a yellow yoke. fertile infertile talkbudgies.com/showthread.php?t=75688
