Breeding IRNs

[derickericson]

Hi, I have a pair of indian ringnecks that have laid eggs twice already. Once last year and this year as recently as last month. Both times the eggs have not been fertile. The male is 3yrs old and the female is about the same. I need some advice on what to do. Thank you for your help.

make sure they have sturdy perches and plenty of room to move around. They may just be inexperienced and havent managed to get it right yet.

Thank you. They are in a large cage and the perches are wide enough to balance on. I took out the eggs and removed their box. How long should I wait till I have them try again.

where are you located? is it breeding season there?

[derickericson]

I am located in florida. Yes it is breeding season. the weather is hot.

they breed in the cooler weather. eggs need to be warm not too hot.
