I am Breeding my Budgies, they are a few years old, and My female, has a Crusty cere which I was told means she is ready to breed. I have a nest box in the cage, and she goes in it, ALOT, and the Male will occasionally peek inside, How long should it take for a budgie to lay eggs? and then for them to hatch?

 

 

Katie

I'm pretty sure it varies... I think it took mine about three weeks. I think I put the box in May 4th and she laid her first egg on the 24th. Then she lays a new one every 2 days until she gets bored.

 

Hatching takes 18 days.

From the time you see them actually do the "deed" if you do, most are pretty active in the morning it is usually about 10-14 days (each bird varies).

Thankyou, that helped alot! :budgiedance:

How old are your budgies Katie, and have they bred before ? :budgiedance:

Well I have had the male for about 2 or 3 years, and I got him at a young age, and the female is about 1 or 2 and I got her at a young age also. They have never Bred, but they LOVE eachother!
