Best Answer

Incubation is about 12 days. The chick stays in the host nest for around 18 days, depending on the food supply and how fast it has grown. Once it has fledged, it is fed by the foster parents for another two or three weeks.

The length of incubation for the common cuckoo is between 11 and 13 days. Rather than care for the eggs herself, eggs are deposited into nests belonging to other birds.

What does a cuckoo sound like?

A Cuckoo is a bird. It lays one egg in a nest of another bird species. When the Cuckoo chick hatches, it ejects from the nest the eggs and/or chicks of the birds which built the nest, and is fed all the food by the "parent" birds. The parent Cuckoo takes no part in bringing up it's chick. The Cuckoo grows to be a large bird and can look daft sitting on a tiny nest, being fed by the small "parent" birds like finches, etc. The name Cuckoo comes from it's call - "Cook-koo" as in the Cuckoo clock. There is also a Flower called the Cuckoo.
