How long is the gestation period for a finch egg?

The gestation period for finch eggs, or more accurately, the incubation period after the eggs are laid, typically lasts about 12 to 14 days. During this time, the parent birds take turns incubating the eggs to keep them warm and protect them. Once the eggs hatch, the chicks are usually dependent on their parents for food and care for several weeks before they fledge.
