We talked about birdhouse for Bluebird at the backyard that you may read the previous post:
Size of Bluebirds Birdhouse at the Backyard – Nature 31
I don’t know exactly how many eggs could be laid by Bluebird in one season. Some of my neighbors said between two and eight eggs.
In our cases, during several years period, our birdhouse was used twice for Bluebird nesting:
- second time with 5 eggs
Bluebirds start to lay eggs in the early Spring (about February to March) in our state, Louisiana, but could be later months in our neighborhood.
You may see color of Bluebird’s egg at Image 1 (top image above), sometimes the color is blue tends to white.
Eggs size is around 0.8 inch (2.03 cm) length, quite little compared to chicken’s eggs off course.
Incubation period could take between 11 to 19 days. Just to compare that chicken’s eggs incubation period was about 20 to 21 days.
Have you ever seen Bluebird eggs?
