I have a breeding pair of Ring Necks (Green Male, Latino Female). They have just mated and was wondering how long itll be untill I see eggs.

I assume they have a nest box? Normally I find eggs arrive two to three weeks after I see them starting to mate - sometimes longer, but never less than 2 weeks. Once they have eggs, incubation is normally around 23 -24 days from when the hen starts sitting tight on the eggs, which is usually after two or three eggs have been laid. Eggs are normally laid at two day intervals and four to five would be usual.
From your green cock and lutino hen you can expect to get only green babies, unless the cock is carrying the lutino gene - in which case on average half the babies will be yellow and half green.
cheers,
Mike
