I have a page on breeding here -

but you really really need to have a long talk with a vet before you even think about breeding with your parakeets. There is equipment you need to have and medicines and such.

Egg binding is a very serious situation which can kill a mommy parakeet. This is just one reason that a keet needs to be checked out to make sure it is healthy enough to have babies.

The short answer to your question is that a clutch of parakeet eggs typically takes about 18 days to hatch.
