Answer 1

This site says that "American crows rear only a single brood each year; if a nest fails early in the breeding season the pair may try to lay a second clutch of eggs."

Breeding season

Breeding occurs from February through June.

Answer 2

This may start as early as Feb and go up to June, crows don't breed till they reach 3 years old.The eggs will hatch in 18 days and parents feed till they reach 35 days then the little birdies leave the nest.

Crows are believed to be the most intelligent of all birds. When full growen the size ranges from 17" -21" from tip of bill to tip of tail They weigh a huge 1 lb full growen WOW! Only way to tell male from female is a DNA test.The color black serves a purpose for thes birds, Crows can see each other  from far away and protects from predatorsat night, crows are more vulnerable at night.This bird can live for 10 years in the wild if nothing kills or get any bird disease.

The oldest liveing crow was 29 1/2 years old (Dilling 1988 Ontario Bird banding Association Newsletter 22;2-3) the second only 14 years 7 months(Clappet.all. 1983 Journal of Feild Ornithology,54 (2):123-137)

Crows eat almost EVERYTHING!! Crows are very social in nature,interaction with others is very imporant  to them. Males and females mate for life when it happens. And the male puts on a super show for her.Crows defend and protect their own family, but also will come to the aid of unrelated crows in need or distressed. the number of eggs the female will have is 4-6.

Crows live all over the world except New Zealand,Antarctica and South Amercia, There are different types of crows this is about the Amercian Crows.
