Egg size of macaw species
Egg size is directly related to the size of an adult macaw laying eggs. About 17 species of macaws are different from each other. Macaws reach puberty at 2-4 years, and this is when they start laying eggs for the first time.
| Species | Egg Size (cm) |
| Hyacinth macaw | 4.8 x 3.8 |
| Scarlet macaw | 4.8 x 3.8 |
| Blue and Gold macaw | 4.6 x 3.6 |
| Blue-throated macaw | 3.7x 3.0 |
| Military macaw | 4.8 x 3.8 |
| Green-winged macaw | 4.8 x 3.8 |
| Red-fronted macaw | 4.8 x 3.8 |
| Hahn’s macaw | 3.2 x 2.5 |
| Most small-medium sized macaws | 3.7 x 3.0 |
If you have a macaw that is not listed in the above table, find the size of a similar-sized species. The size of eggs is almost the same among the species with similar body sizes.
Incubation Duration
Parrot egg incubation periods can vary by breed but are typically between 24-28 days. Some parrot breeds can hatch in as little as 18 days. Research your specific breed to find out how long your egg will need to be incubated. This article assumes a 24 day hatching cycle, so you may need to adjust based on your breed. cheap parrot eggs for sale
Incubation Temperature
Under natural conditions, the most important factor in successful parrot egg incubation is heat. As long as the egg gets enough of it and is not permitted to lose too much of it for too long a time, everything will be fine. This is true even though the actual temperature of the egg fluctuates drastically when the hen is off the nest. Hens that rarely leave their nest do not have a noticeably higher hatch rate than those that leave the nest at regular intervals. From this, it’s safe to assume that eggs have evolved to be less sensitive to temperature drops than to other more unnatural circumstances. Buy parrot eggs online
One thing that a bird cannot do no matter how hard it may try is overheat an egg. This, of course, is possible in an incubator. Overheating is one of the things that an egg is very sensitive to and can result in eventual death. Temperatures that have been used successfully range from 98.7 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. About 99 degrees seems to work well for most types of parrot eggs. talking parrot eggs for sale online
Of course, the best temperature for you to use will depend on many different factors. The most important of these factors is humidity. talking birds egg for sale.
Incubation Humidity
Humidity’s ranging between 38 and 52 percent have been used by different professionals under different circumstances. All have proven successful in the situations used. An egg should undergo a specific percentage of weight loss during the incubation period. This weight loss is achieved by the evaporation of water through the pores of the shell. buy fertile parrot eggs online
Since increasing the incubation temperature can shorten the time period in which it takes a chick to hatch, there is less time for the required water loss to take place. If using these higher temperatures, the lower humidity’s should be used to allow sufficient water loss during the shortened time period. Conversely, if lower temperatures are used, the chick will take longer to hatch, and higher humidity’s should be used in order to keep too much evaporation from taking place. where to buy parrot eggs online
Under the same environmental circumstances, large eggs do better at lower humidity’s (38 to 45 percent), and smaller eggs do better at the higher range (46 to 52 percent). cheap parrot eggs for sale online
Preparation
Each type of incubator will have their own process for set up. Most require the temperature to be set at least 24-48 hours before the eggs are placed inside so that humidity and temperature can be stabilized and adjusted as needed. Some recommend allowing the hen to sit on the eggs for the first two weeks, or waiting until she is completely done laying the eggs before removing them for incubation. This period is the most crucial when it comes to sensitivity to temperature and humidity of parrot eggs, and will help you to have the best possible parrot egg hatch rate. Parrot Eggs For Sale uk
Egg Turning
The next most important aspect of incubation is turning the eggs. Typically, turning parrot eggs 4-8 times is sufficient, although it has been a subject of debate with some suggesting turning up to every hour. However, parrot egg incubation research has shown increased hatch rates with fewer turns per day, in the 4-8 range. Parrot Eggs For Sale middle east
You will also have the option to turn by hand or to use a parrot egg turner. Many choose to use an egg turner because they are able to maintain a more stable environment in their incubator. It also allows them freedom of movement, especially if they are a hobby breeder who works outside the home. If you do choose to turn your parrot eggs by hand, you will want to make sure that you put a light mark on them so you can identify which way is up, and can quickly double check if you have turned all the eggs.
Determining Fertility
Candling parrot eggs is the easiest way to monitor growth of the embryo and determine if the eggs are fertile. It is important to pick the best eggs for incubation in order to have the best possible fertility rate. Candling parrot eggs can be done at any time, but you may not be able to see development until at least 7–10 days into the incubation process.
Hatching
The first sign that hatching is around the corner is when you see the egg “draw down.” This is when the air space in the egg enlarges. It will change from its normal round appearance to elliptical. One side of this now-elliptical air cell will extend down one side of the inside of the shell. The other side remains up near the top of the egg where it has always been–hence, the elliptical appearance.
Some choose to wait until the first pip occurs to signal the end of incubation and the beginning of hatching. Since the incubation process is complete, the high humidity (the higher the better) does not interfere with evaporation but does make it less likely for the internal membrane to stick to the hatching chick. Chicks that get stuck to the membrane must be assisted out of the shell, or they will die trying to get out. Normal time lapse between major draw down and hatching is usually about three days. buy fertile parrot eggs uk
Eggs sometimes fail to hatch. There are various reasons why this might have happened:
- Females sometimes lay eggs when there are no males to fertilise them
- A female may lay unfertilized eggs if the male has failed to achieve a successful coupling
- Single eggs may fail to hatch, due to a chick failing to develop properly inside, or because the egg itself somehow managed to avoid being fertilized parrots eggs for sale
- The hen may neglect her eggs due to inexperience or stress – this is quite common in first-time layers
- If the nestbox isn’t a suitable size and shape the egg may have fallen to the floor and killed the embryo inside
- The male bird could be infertile
- The proximity of other birds or external distractions may be the issue – the female may be too stressed to sit on her eggs
- Nutrition is important – if eggs fail to hatch due to soft shells, it’s a sign that the hen didn’t get enough calcium (from cuttlefish bone or a mineral block, for example) when she was producing the eggs. fertile parrots eggs for sale canada
Brooding
After hatching, you will need to brood your parrots. A good start for temperature selection for most tropical birds is 85 degrees F. This temperature is balmy enough to allow them to process food well and enjoy good health but not so warm that they are over active from the heat. Adjust brood box temperature up are down slightly as needed to achieve the goal of calm, healthy, fast-growing birds. exotic parrots eggs for sale

Hatching parrot eggs can be a very rewarding and profitable pastime. You are encouraged to learn all that you can about your specific type of parrot in order to incubate for an appropriate amount of time. Good luck, and happy hatching!
