Why is my budgie throwing out cracked eggs from her second clutch?

Question

Yesterday night, my budgie threw her egg out in the cage. This is her second clutch. Her eggs have cracks on them. First clutch was successful. She immediately started second clutch after first. Please help ASAP. Thanks. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

I've attached some articles about budgies and egg laying. If mom is tossing eggs out of the nest something in the environment is not conducive to her sitting on them. Make sure the cage is big enough and that they have an adequate nest box. Make sure they are on a high quality food- seeds are not sufficient for an egg laying bird. She needs pelleted diet, fresh foods and calcium supplementation. It's recommended not to let her have more than 1-2 clutches a year to prevent health issue for Boo Boo. http://budgieplace.com/breeding.html https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/egg-laying-affects-pet-bird/
