My lovebird's eggs haven't hatched after 28 days, are they viable?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 28 days old | 0 lbs

My Lovebird laid eggs 28 days ago and they still haven't hatched and I'm pretty sure they are fertile because you can see the embryo.

The average time for gestation is about 21 days. If it has been 28 days, the eggs are either infertile or the time has been miscalculated. It would be best if she was not bred again until she is much older, at least 1 year old.
