A hummingbird will usually lay two eggs. Each egg will be laid a few days apart, but regardless of this the eggs will hatch on the same day.
The eggs are extremely tiny, only about the size of a peanut or jelly bean.
The eggs will hatch about 12-14 days after they were laid.
The young hummingbirds will leave the nest only 3 or 4 weeks after they hatch and then the birds are completely on their own from then on.

Good information. How often you update your site?
I try to post almost every day, but sometimes that cannot happen because of circumstances. So please check back often and see what has been added since the last time you visited the site.
Such a cool blog. I liked this post especially the best.
Thank you.
