The eggs are probably not all fertile, so this means that you probably have at least one baby. Our Cockatiels laid 4 eggs, three hatched and out of the three, two survived. It will take about 28 days for the eggs to hatch and then about 6 weeks for the babies to grow to full size. You want to make sure that they are in a dark area since their eyes will not be developed after they are born. Once they are born, keep the mother and father full. Feed them healthy greens and easily regurgitated foods such as whole grain bread. The mother and father will do the rest. Keep an eye on the babies and their development. If they are infertile eggs, after 4 weeks be sure to remove the eggs and they will probably recooperate and try again.
