Robin eggs typically take about 12 to 15 days to hatch after incubation begins, with most sources citing 12 to 14 days as the common range. The female robin is responsible for incubating the eggs during this period
. Key details about robin egg incubation and hatching include:
- Incubation starts after the last egg is laid and lasts roughly 12-14 days
- The female spends about 50 minutes of every hour incubating the eggs
- Both parents tend to the young once hatched, feeding and protecting them
- After hatching, baby robins remain in the nest for about 13 days before fledging
In summary, you can expect robin eggs to hatch in about two weeks from the start of incubation, with the female doing the incubating and both parents caring for the chicks afterward.
