KINGFISHER EGGS A kingfisher egg can weigh around 4.3g, which just over 10% of the average female's body weight (40gs) This clutch adds up to a whopping 70% of her weight. What an effort. KINGFISHER BROODING The incubation period for kingfisher eggs is around 20 days, and then the fledging is 22-26days later.
