Ok, so my cockatiel layed 2 eggs. But there is no father. Can the eggs still hatch?
How long can eggs stay out from an incubator?
Without a male and a female bird the eggs will NOT hatch. Please remove the eggs as if left with the bird they will make her more likely to lay more eggs that will just rot as they have not been fertilized by a male bird.
No, the father fertilizes the eggs, so the eggs won't hatch because the eggs are infertile. For infertile eggs, as long as they want because there is no baby inside them anyway. For fertile eggs, around 2 hours. because they arent going to hatch, you will need to remove them. But to do this you must wait until she is no longer interested in them, which should be in about 22-30 days . If you remove them earlier, she will lay another clutch to replace them, which drains her energy by a LOT. She is actually shortening her lifespan by laying clutches of eggs. Usually when a hen (female bird) lays infertile eggs it is because she is bored. Do you have at least 2 sets of toys that you switch out every week? Do you take her out to play wither her? If you do all these, maybe try switching her location for a different view.
