I have two female bluebirds sitting on one nest. There are six eggs. What is going to happen?
I imagine that there is a male bluebird somewhere or they wouldn’t have laid eggs. I don’t think that it is unusual to see two female bluebirds sitting on the box. If they are in the box together that would be unusual. My suggestion is to check the box every five days. Don’t check on cold or rainy days. The bluebird eggs will hatch in 14 days. If the weather is colder, kind of like this week with up and down temperatures, it could take more than 14 days. Hopefully the eggs will hatch!
