Hi Fancy. Are you saying your bird is 1 year old? If not, how old is she? Is she your only bird or does she have a cage mate? Tell me what she gets to eat each day? Do you have a cuttle bone in her cage? This extra information will help me give you my best possible answer and advice. While you are waiting, don't touch the egg at all, unless of course it's so broken that it's leaking, in which case you should go ahead and throw it away. Thanks, Patricia
