Hummingbird eggs are the size of small peas. A typical hummingbird will lay two eggs, and will incubate the nest for up to three weeks. In warm areas of the United States, hummingbirds will successfully raise the babies in one nest, and then may start a second nest where they will lay a new batch of two eggs, all in one nesting season.
