How long til hatch?

Ok my Cockatoos just spawned for the second time, Thursday night (november 16). Now I've stolen the eggs and put them, still on their rock in a fry net.
mum isn't with them.
How long will it take if they're properly fertilized to hatch?
Also my male is full grown, but my female is only 1.5 inches long, is she still too small to be laying viable eggs?
Thanks!!

Well I have wigglers, they eggs have wiggled themselves off the rock and are now in the bottom of their enclosure.
They were falling through the fry net so I put the rock with eggs in a tupperware container in the fry net, now they aren't getting eaten which is awesome.
I'm also in the process of setting up a 20G I have to use as a grow out tank.
I'm thinking of going bare bottom, BUT I have a shipment of plants coming in and need to store them in the 20G so I"m not sure bare bottom is feasible. it might be ugly but I'm thinking of putting substrate in tuperware containers and putting those in the tank, what do you think?
how long til the fry actually swim btw??
and in the grow out tank, I was going to use a sponge filter, good idea?

you could use tupper ware for the plants . many people leave tanks bare and place thier plants in pots.
