My budgie laid 6 eggs. How can I help her care for all the chicks?

Question

Is it possible that all budgie eggs can hatch? My budgie laid 6 eggs. 4 have already hatched and I noticed some cracks on 2. Will be my budgie be able to take care of all 6 properly? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

Budgies have on average a clutch of about 4-5 eggs, so 6 eggs is an awful lot if all the babies survive. Offering extra food for mom and dad to feed themselves and babies with, and having some baby bird formula on hand is best in case you need to step in and help out with supplemental feedings. You can find appropriate sized syringes and baby bird food with feeding instructions at most pet stores.
