Egg Sizes in Macaw Species
If you have a macaw species not listed in the table above, you can determine the egg size by referencing a similar-sized species. Generally, species with similar body sizes tend to have eggs of similar sizes.
Factors Influencing Macaw Egg Size As mentioned earlier, several factors can influence the size of macaw eggs. Let’s explore these factors:
- Species: Larger macaw species typically lay larger eggs compared to smaller species. Their overall body size, including their reproductive organs and newborn chicks, is larger, leading to the production of larger eggs.
- Breeding History: The breeding history of a female macaw can impact the size of her eggs. In the first 1-2 breeding seasons, macaws typically lay smaller eggs. However, as the female macaw ages and accumulates breeding experience, she tends to lay larger eggs.
- Age: The age of a macaw also plays a role in egg size. Macaws that breed soon after reaching puberty tend to lay smaller eggs. Breeding at a young age can also affect the bird’s overall size. Experienced breeders often wait until macaws are mature before allowing them to mate.
How Long Can Talking Blue and Gold Macaw Eggs Be Stored Before Incubation?
Rotate the eggs to a different position once daily until you’re ready to place them in the incubator. Talking Blue and Gold Macaw Eggs can remain viable for up to three weeks. Therefore, it’s advisable not to store eggs for more than three weeks before starting the incubation process.
Sometimes, Talking Blue and Gold Macaw Eggs may fail to hatch for various reasons:
- Unsuccessful couplings between the male and female can result in underdeveloped eggs.
- Individual eggs may fail to hatch due to developmental issues or infertility.
- Females may lay unfertilized eggs when there are no males for fertilization.
- Inadequate nest box size and shape can lead to eggs falling and damaging embryos.
- Male infertility can be a contributing factor.
- Stress from nearby birds or external disturbances may prevent females from properly incubating their eggs.
- Inexperience or stress can cause hens to neglect their eggs, especially in first-time layers.
- Proper nutrition is crucial, as soft-shelled eggs can indicate a lack of calcium during egg production, which can be addressed with calcium supplements such as cuttlefish bone or mineral blocks.
