Society finches can lay 3 to 6 eggs. When laying eggs it usually has one egg a day until its done laying. When the hen is done laying the eggs the male and the female will sit on those eggs. It will 14 to 21 days for those eggs to hatch. If the eggs do not hatch after 21 days, you should throw those eggs away. Then the finches will mate again.

∙ 11y agoIt depends which finches and where in the world they are. Most finches are seed eaters and so tend to live near to forests, grassland and farmland. They use suitable safe nesting sites, trees, cliffs and buidings.
Some weaver finches in Africa and India build nests hanging from the inexcessible branches of trees. There relatives, sparrows, build nests in barns and houses.
But finches are a versatile lot and use any safe, inaccesible place to nest.

I believe finches nest in trees and do not use birdhouses, much like cardinals. They are from the same family.
Should you remove cowbird egg from finch nest?
The Cowbird never has its own nest - it uses the finch nest as its host (read: parasite.) The Cowbird egg will hatch first & will push the other eggs or baby finches out of the nest. Other species of birds will get rid of the Cowbird eggs, but finches don't seem to. I always remove them when found.
Why do finches break there eggs for?
I am not sure. My finches used to protect their eggs, not crack them. The other birds in the cage must have cracked them. If not, maybe they needed nutrients.

What to do if your finches build a nest in the food dish even though they already made one and it is in the way for your parakeets?
I would recommend putting in another food dish and rearranging the perches, toys, and food dishes (if the food dishes have hooks to hang on the side of the cage) once every 1 - 2 weeks. Also be sure you are not providing anything that the finches might use as nest material.
