First, are you sure that you have a male and a female? Second, most if not all responsible breeders will not sell fertile eggs. This is for several reasons. One transporting the eggs could be hazardous to the embryos. Secondly, the buyer would have to know how to handfeed the babies, possibly from day one as the parent birds, if there are any, many not feed the babies. Therefore, there is a safety issue involved.

Most if not all fertile egg advertisements online are scams. You could possibly find a breeder in your area to work with and show you know what you're doing and get some eggs from them if they are overloaded but that seems unlikely from a responsible breeder. I've heard of a few breeders giving over babies to handfeeders but not eggs.
Other than that, make sure they have a large enough cage, privacy, great food and a nest box and that the female is getting enough calcium. There's the extent of my breeding greys knowledge. |
