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.
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.
If it is younger it will lay about 8 eggs and if it is older it will lay about 5.
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.
Darwin was interested in the finches! The finches weren't interested in him!
The finches that Peter and Rosemary Grant chose to study the Finches in the Galapagos because they are hybrid.
About 3 to 6
Sometimes it's because the finches don't like each other or because maybe they're just not ready yet. It varies with breed but usually Zebra finches are quicker to adapt and quicker to lay eggs.
they need to learn to live by themselves
Yes

yes they do
Little brown birds....
Your finch will lay eggs in a nest that has been lined with something, feathers, fuzz, nesting materials. The adults will take turns sitting on the eggs. When they leave the nest they may pull a little of the nesting material over the eggs or they may leave them exposed on the top, it is really up to them. And as long as they do not leave the nest for more than a few minutes at a time the eggs will be fine.
Yes they do, mostly when they are low on calcium. So please provide your finches with cuttlebone or feed the crushed boiled chicken eggs.
If it is younger it will lay about 8 eggs and if it is older it will lay about 5.
