How long is the incubation period, and how long are baby Robins dependent on their parents?
Robins incubate for about 12 – 14 days. The record was 7 days–this must have been during a warm spell when the eggs could stay warm even when the mother was off the nest feeding. It takes the babies about 2 weeks to leave the nest, or “fledge,” and then they usually stay with their parents for two or three weeks after that. The father continues to feed them while the mother starts incubating a new brood of eggs.
