Robin eggs typically take about 12 to 14 days to hatch after the female begins incubating, which usually starts after the last egg is laid

. The female robin incubates the eggs for roughly 50 minutes each hour during this period

. Incubation time can vary slightly depending on temperature conditions; higher incubation temperatures can shorten the hatch time by about 1.7 days, but this may affect the size and survival chances of the hatchlings

. After hatching, the young robins remain in the nest for about 13 to 14 days before fledging
