We have a noisy miner in a nest. Cannot see if eggs or not but if there are eggs, how long before they hatch?

Hi Ronwyn, if they are all fertile eggs, it should take around 14 - 16 days for the first chick to hatch. They won't all hatch at once, there will probably be a 12-24 gap between each egg.
