My female cockatiel lay a fertile egg outside the breeding box as she already hatch 3 eggs since last 14 days. So, now what I do.
Another female is hatching since last 7 days, Am I put this egg to second female.
Has she not carried out on her feathers(they some times get stuck to the feathers) this egg that is on the bottom. this often happens it could be one of the ones that was due to hatch but has been carried out by accident, it is very unusual for a Cockatiel to start laying again when she is in the early days of rearing newly hatched chicks,
There would be no harm in putting the egg with the other hen with another female ,but in any case it may or may not hatch , it will do no harm to try.
You never remove the C*ck bird from a feeding pair as in the early days he also feeds the Hen whilst she broods the young.
