Zebra Finch Laid Eggs?

Zebra Finch Laid EggsThis is my first time owning zebra finches. About 20 days ago one started laying eggs and finished about 2 weeks ago. She laid 4 eggs in total. Today I noticed a 5th egg. Should I remove the other eggs? Also I'm not even sure that I don't have 2 females. I'm sure my grey one is a female. And they make different sounds, but I am unsure about the white one.

Usually they don't start to sit on them until after they lay the last egg. So, start your timing from the final egg, and then give a couple extra days just incase.

From thespruce.com Egg-Laying

The average zebra finch can lay up to eight eggs in a single clutch, with the median being between three and six.

The hen lays one egg each day until the clutch is complete and will begin incubating the eggs once the last one is laid.

Incubation Time

Zebra finch eggs begin to hatch within 12 to 15 days after the hen begins to sit on them. As a rule, if an egg hasn't hatched within 20 days, you can consider it infertile.


Since your finch finished laying eggs 2 weeks ago, wait another week, and remove the 4 eggs if they haven't hatched. Since you noticed the 5th egg today, wait 19 days from today to get rid of that one if it hasn't hatched.

The male has the colorful orange cheeks, the zebra stripes on neck and brown/white spots under wings. Females are not as bright colored
