That may depend on the parents... if you know anything about past history, then it may help to know WHY the breeder remove the eggs... was it because he wanted to, or because the parents injured the chicks once born? If a parent isn't used to having chicks they may destroy the chicks....

IMO it's best to leave the chicks with the parents until they are hold enough to be handraised going on 4-6 feeds a day, unless of course there's an emergency situation when they may need to be handraised at a younger age.

If you are going to raise Hyacinths you should have a plan well in advance of asking for information on the internet. Have you raised macaws before?

Great reply Gary. A lot nicer than I'm going to say. LOLOL.

If you don't have a clue on what to do with the eggs, sell the pair of birds. That is if you really have them.

[quote="aves"]recently, I setted up a hyacinth hen 16yrs and a hyacinth male 13 yrs old. yesterday I looked into thier nest box, and she is sitting on two eggs.

they been together for six months, problably less, she was breeder before and the preveous owner will withdraw her eggs so she could lay more.

I prefer to let her hacth the eggs, othes people tell me to pull them out and put them in incubator.

Because they are "Hyacinths" I do recommend artificial incubation. why leave anything to chance when it comes to this? Set yourself up with a good computer controlled incubator (ex:R-com) and a good brooder (Ex:Avry) and a candler, so you'll improve your chances. Study about the many techniques used to disenfect your equipment and feeding supplies. Brush up on day one feeding because you'll need all the information you can possibly absorb in the time being. Stock up on your supplies like formula (Ex: Pretty Bird 22-10 and Ultimate) and decide how you want to hand feed a day one chick. There are many schools of thought here so be your own best advisor and again "absorb as much as you can" before they start hatching.

I used Pretty Bird on acocunt of the fact that Dr. Michael will give you his personal cell phone number to help guide you when it comes to Hyacinths. He is really big on this and currently has over 7 wild projects going on them. You'll find his resourse a valuable one.

I'm going to agree with Dr_Creep on this one. That response was VERY rude and not needed. Just because someone mentions the word Hyacinth doesn't mean they are scammers. Ana is not asking for someone to buy them!

Ana, I would reccommend incubating too. Just as PurpleHeart said, this kind of bird would be one I would not want to take chances with. If it were me though, I would leave them a fertile egg or even a non fertile to see if they sit the whole time and if the fertile one hatched, to see if they fed it. I know it's risky, but at least you would have the others in a safe place if the parents decided to walk all over the babies for example.
