How long does it take for a zebra Finch egg to hatch? I have a pair of white zebra finches which were gifted to me a couple of months back. I have no idea if they are a couple of a male and female or both female. How do I find it out? And now one has laid an egg, at the base though a nest was there. Now one of the two is pecking at the egg. I don't understand anything now. It's so saddening to see it like that. I give them enough calcium supplements, food, water, air, and everything. I don't understand what I should be doing.

The birds lay one egg at a time and sit on the eggs after the last one is laid. The eggs hatch 12-15 days after she sits on them. An egg that doesnt hatch in 20 days is inferile.
These birds are not handled by humans under normal conditions, so you need to step back and let nature take its course.
