Baby birds of other species may be attacked and consumed in their nests, as well as eggs Some see this as a good argument against birdfeeders Naturally, this makes the blue jay one of the bad guys in your backyard But some researchers contend that, while nest predation definitely can and does occur, the frequency is extremely low Three eggs laid so far Bluebirds usually lay 45 sometimes 6 or 7 Second and third broods tend to have fewer eggs This is a second brood for this pair Occasionally an Eastern Bluebird will add feathers to a nest Incubation does not begin until all eggs have been laid, so they will hatch at the same timeThe female Blue Jay will lay between 36 eggs which she will incubate for up to 18 days Sometimes the male will assist with the incubation, though his main task is to bring food to the female Blue Jay as she sits on the nest The baby Blue Jay chicks fledge in about three weeks and will leave the nesting area in about 2 months
