Jackie and Shadow’s current eggs are expected to hatch in late March to early April 2026, with the most likely window around early April if they are viable.

Quick Scoop: When Will Jackie and Shadow’s Eggs Hatch?

Here’s what we know from recent reports and typical bald eagle timing:

  • Jackie’s first 2026 clutch was laid January 23 and 26 but was lost to ravens.
  • She laid a new (second) clutch later in February 2026; one egg was seen around February 24, and a second egg followed a few days later.
  • Bald eagle eggs usually hatch about 35–40 days after being laid, and Jackie’s eggs often hatch around day 38–39 according to longtime observers.
  • A March 21, 2026 update notes that viable eggs normally hatch around 30–40 days from laying, with a typical “around day 35” window.

Putting that together in simple terms:

  1. First egg of this clutch: laid about February 24 → add roughly 35–39 days → likely hatch window is around March 30–April 3, 2026.
  1. Second egg: laid a few days after February 24 → its hatch window is a few days after the first, likely early April 2026.

So if you’re watching the nest cam, the key phrase for “when will Jackie and Shadow’s eggs hatch” this season is: late March into the first half of April 2026, with the peak expectation right around early April.
