how long does it take a female budgie to lay her eggs after mating

Mating does not guarantee eggs will be laid. If introduced to a breeding cage or given a breeding box and then mating commences, generally it will take the hen 7-14 days until the first egg shows up. Some experienced hens can lay as fast as 3-5 days but generally it averages about 7-9. This does not mean the first egg takes that long to develop - all eggs take two days to both develop and pass through to being laid.

Agree with all Deans advice............

 

just want to add

 

 

Budgies or birds do NOT have PREGNANCIES
