I heard about China Eggs from an Englishman about thirty years ago so I don't remember all the details. Here's the gist of it: If a hen is not laying, the farmer puts a ceramic imitation egg under the hen. She instinctivly sits on it as a normal egg. This somehow induces her to start laying normally again. It has crept into usage as a metaphor for waiting around for something that will never happen. bojem

What if your parakeet laid one egg in the nesting box does that mean it is not fetile even if you have a male and a female bird?
Well, it sort of depends. If the female is laying/sitting on the egg that might mean it is fertile, but only if she is either trained or knows how to do that. But sometimes, the egg will be fertile, but the female won't know what to do, so she won't sit on it. Also, do you let your bird mate, because if you do the egg will most likely be fertile.
How do you tell from a fertile egg from a infertile egg?
After 3-10 days of the bird sitting on the egg, take the egg to a strong light and if it has redish vines in it, then it is fertile. If it's just white then its not.
