This question has been asked before, but the short answer is -- not a good idea. Parrots feed the chicks after they hatch, every hour or 2 at first. Parrots lay a small clutch and then brood, so not many extra eggs. If you could find a breeder who would sell eggs, they would be expensive and the hatch rate not good in an incubator. All these reasons are why parrot chicks are expensive. A breeding pair is the best start to breeding and raising parrots. You need to have some parrot experience before some breeders will even sell you one of their babies, too. I used to interview prospective buyers & I only bred Cockatiels.
