Apparently the mama bird really likes this nesting box, because when I checked the box again yesterday, there were three more eggs added to the mix! I don't know if it is normal for a house wren to lay two clutches or if the first eggs were duds. We'll find out in about two weeks, when the eggs hatch!

I don't know specifically about wrens, but birds will lay their eggs over several days and then start incubating them all together, so they'll hatch at the same time.

Aha! Thanks for that info! Ours haven't hatched yet, but Mama bird keeps flitting to and from the nest. We have quite the little brood about to hatch!
