The eggs of kingfishers are invariably white. The typical clutch size varies by species; some of the very large and very small species lay as few as two eggs per clutch, whereas others may lay 10 eggs, the typical is around three to six eggs.
The common kingfisher typically lays two to ten glossy white eggs, which average 1.9 cm (3 ⁄ 4 in) in breadth, 2.2 cm (7 ⁄ 8 in) in length, and weigh about 4.3 g (5 ⁄ 32 oz), of which 5% is shell. Both sexes incubate by day, but only the female incubates at night.
Common kingfishers are serially monogamous and seek a new mate every year. They nest on their own. The female is given food by the male before copulation, usually a fish. 2-3 clutches of eggs are laid yearly, in April, and another by July, with sometimes, a third in early October. Nests are on sandy banks along streams.
The female lays about 5 or 7 white, glossy eggs but sometimes will lay up to 10 eggs. The eggs average 1.9 centimetres in breadth, 2.2 centimetres in length and weigh about 4.3 grams, of which 50% is shell. The male and the female share the job of incubating the eggs for about 20 days.
