No, when the time is right she will release her eggs even if there is no male around. It is no different from pet birds who sometimes lay unfertilized eggs. The female betta will probably eat her eggs to regain any lost nutrients after she releases them; if not, it is safe and harmless to simply remove them from the tank with your regular water changes. They are unfertilized.
There is no nutritional difference between a fertilized and an unfertilized egg. People prefer to eat unfertilized commercial layer eggs, so they don't feel like they are eating the next generation. Also a fertilized egg does not have as long of a shelf life as the unfertilized one does.
Yes. She believes all the eggs are fertile. Ducks have been known to sit on objects similar to eggs such as golf balls.
One day.
Yes, If you mean that the male bird does not interact with the female. Chicken hens, most notably, will lay unfertilized eggs as long as a rooster is present. It is very common in the egg industry to use sterile roosters around the hen cages to keep the hens producing eggs.
Any eggs are good if you put them in water an inch or two higher than the egg and they do not float off the bottom of the container.
Twenty-eight to 30 days.
Most chicken eggs produced for consumption are unfertilized. Eggs found in the grocery stores are typically produced by chickens that never come in contact with a rooster.In backyard flocks, however, there is usually a rooster present with the hens and he ensures that the eggs are fertilized by mating the hens regularly. Eggs from hens who have been mated in the past week are fertilized chicken eggs. They can be eaten or incubated and hatched into chicks.Yes, hens can and do lay unfertilized eggs. In fact, most grocery store eggs come from hens that have not been mated by a rooster and therefore are unfertilized.Yes, a hen that has not mated with a rooster in the past ten days will lay only unfertilized eggs. A hen that has never been with a rooster will only lay unfertilized eggs.A rooster must mate a hen for her to lay eggs, and after she is first mated it will still take about a week for her eggs to be fertilized, as it takes about that long for the rooster's sperm to travel to the hen's ovaries where her eggs are fertilized before the shell covers them and before they are laid.
The female kakapo incubates her eggs for around 30 days.
female penguins do not become pregnant. They lay eggs.
from 1.5 to 3 million eggs
not long after the female and male have mated
