Have a pair of Lady Goudian's, the hen layed 6 eggs. Will the birds sit on the eggs all the time until hatched

Answers:
That is correct.She will incubate the eggs until hatched and stay in the nest until they can fly.The only time the hen will leave the nest is to eat and drink.If the * (male) is a good father he may even feed the hen so she can stay with the nestlings.

After hatching the male * will take over and feed the youngings until they are old enough to eat on their own.

Usually about 2 to3 weeks. Good luck with you new finches and enjoy as they are truly magnificent birds.

its up to them, no one can tell you what your birds will do.

depends, if it is their first time laying them they might not, some lady gouldians don't know how to look after babies the first time, but they should look after them. they should sit on the eggs as much as possible but the parents still have to eat and stretch their wings
