Do you mean: How long between the egg is laid and when the baby hatches OR how long does it take a baby to peck its way through the egg shell? Either Q, the answer will depend on the type of bird. I read that Blue birds will hatch within about a week after the mother lays it. Where as I had a Kill-Dee who sat on her eggs for almost 3 weeks---but her chicks were almost ready to run on their own within a day or two(they don't fly much).

What am i supposed to feed a baby bird that f ell out nest?

It is best if you don't feed it yourself. It can get stressed out and/or die. its best to call or bring to a bird sanctuary. Plus its illegal to take care of a baby bird without a licence. Do not touch the baby bird except in emergency or if its injured. Often the mother bird will come back and feed it. But if it has human scent, she will abandon it and it will die.

When a baby bird falls will the mom pick it up back to the nest?

In most cases, if a baby bird falls out of the nest, the mother will not pick it up and return it to the nest. The mother may continue to care for the baby on the ground or nearby if it is safe to do so. It's important not to interfere unless the baby bird is injured.
