How many eggs does a parakeet lay a year?

Answer 1

It depends on your parakeet.

If the parakeet is a female over about 4 months old, they are capable of laying eggs

If it does not have a mate, it usually will not lay any eggs, however its possible. Obviously these eggs will be infertile and will not hatch

If she does have a mate, they will lay eggs as long as they have access to a nest box and breeding stimulus (such as extended daylight)

It is healthy for a parakeet to lay up to 2 clutches of eggs a year. A clutch is usually 4 eggs. Any more than this and the birds health is endangered. Egg-laying uses up the calcium in the female bird (hen), so you will need to provide her with cuttlebone.

Dont attempt breeding your birds unless you have thorougly researched it first.

good luck

Answer 2

Parakeets, also known as budgies, lay one egg every other day. They usually lay in clutches of between three and six eggs, but larger clutch sizes (up to ten) are not uncommon. The hen (female) will usually not start sitting on the eggs until she lays the third egg. This is normal and, since eggs begin hatching 18-21 days after incubation begins, will typically result in three eggs hatching in one day. After that the eggs will hatch one every other day in the order they were laid.

Answer 3

Potentially, way over a hundred.
