Incubation usually starts at about the time the 3rd egg is laid, and hatching begins about 12 days later. However there is some variability in this, so never be in too much hurry to remove eggs that haven t hatched. A typical clutch size is about 5 eggs, but may be as many as 8, so it often happens that the hatching process takes place over 3-4 days.
