Egg hatching question - please help ASAP

Post by finchescb » Thu Jul 12, 2018 8:23 pm

I have a pair of lovebirds that had chicks earlier this year. Since then, every time the eggs get close to hatching the chicks die in the shell. I candled some today and 1 died and three were still alive. They should be hatching any day. They’re kept indoors and our indoor humidity is 51%. Is there anything I can do to help make sure they hatch?

Yh you can try and encourage them to have a bath when they are hatching this way the eggs can get moist and easier to hatch

keep having them bathe, or mist the adults with a sprayer if they don't bathe.

Thank you Fraza, wilkifam, and Dave! I tried getting the birds wet but it didn’t work. I’ll have to see if there might be other issues. Thank you for your help!
