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).
3 weeks?
4 weeks
I would think the mom bird teachs the baby bird to fly so the baby bird knows how to fly and take care of the baby the bird will have when it grows up so it can fly and take care of itself and the baby it has if it has one ^____^.
The best thing to do is leave it alone. Dont take a risk to harm the bird to kill the ants. The mom or the baby bird will figure out what to do. Ants might even be food for the baby bird.
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.
you should take him to the vet as soon as possible. they will do everything possible to save it. they will know what to do.
anywhere between 12 hours and four days.
It takes around 4 or 5 weeks for a baby bird to leave its Mom.
after the baby comes out of the egg it takes about 3-4 weeks. and about a month old it should look like a big bird. :)
take the dead crab out of the shell.

NO! If you so much as touch a wild baby bird the mother won't take care of it and the baby will die unless you choose to care for it.
You can take the baby bird to a wildlife sanctuary.
If You figure this out let me know.... just noticed mom hermit dead but baby hermit inside moms shell.... hmmm lol
It depends on which type of bird.
the bird would take the egg from back from you bird saves it they hatch into cute baby birds
You should not do this - but the mother will continue to look after the remaining birds.
