Answer 1

Hi,

I think its about 21days.

Answer 2

If you are going to attempt to breed cockatiels then you should purchase a book and learn about this endeavor of yours to breed cockatiels. It isn't something entered lightly. What are you going to do if she abandons the babies? You will be on here or you will try to raise them and kill them. You need to get a handbook on cockatiels. If you don't know how many days it takes for the eggs to hatch then how are you going to know what to feed the parents, what trouble signs to look fork, what about vitamins, what about supplements to help with the stress of raising babies and what about all the eggs these two hens are laying????????

It normally takes 18-20 days for the eggs to hatch once the hen  starts to incubate the eggs.
