Typically, the bluebirds build their nest in early April and can lay their clutch of eggs any time after that — laying one egg a day — then starting to incubate them after the final egg is laid.
The female incubates the eggs, which hatch after 13 to 16 days. The young cannot care for themselves upon hatching. The female broods the chicks for up to seven days after hatching. Fledglings then leave the nest 15 to 20 days after hatching. [11] Juvenile (left) with parent Eastern bluebird at nesting box Eastern bluebird in Quebec, Canada

The clutch, typically of three to five eggs, is incubated for 12–15 days, mainly by the female. The chicks fledge about 14–16 days after hatching. There are normally two broods.
