Are those Finches?

i even got an egg with Mallory! (it’s in the incubator)
The sales girl was too funny when I asked for the egg!! She said “you can have it but it’s not fertile” I asked why she thought it wasn’t fertile...(since obviously a male/female pair) she said it wasn’t fertile because she won’t sit on it!! may not be fertile as i don’t know the exact age of the pair, but like others the female stores sperm for 16 days and the eggs remain fertile for about a week prior to incubation allowing the female time to lay a full clutch.
