Which is a good sighn managed 2 feel the egg once when Kim came out was at room tempruture check on her once in the morning she is a very tough budgie but I am worried about how long it's taking people told me 15 ,18,28 days till they hatch any help please?

Answer
Teddy,

It takes roughly 28-30 days for the eggs to hatch, after incubation has begun. This is usually when the last egg has been laid, not the first egg. I am curious, did you watch her mate with a male budgie, and did you candle the eggs to ensure that they were fertile?
