It takes 24 hours.
The yolk, which is called an oocyte is produced by the hens ovary in a process we call ovulation. As the yolk is released into the oviduct it is fertilized by sperm deposited by the rooster up to 10 days prior to the ovulation.
Fertilized or not, that yolk continues down the oviduct and is covered by the vitelline membrane, structural fibers and albumen in the magnus area of the oviduct.
As this forming egg continues it's travel down the oviduct it rotates continually within the spiraling tube (oviduct) and this movement twists the structural fibers forming rope like strands called chalazae. two of these chalazae anchor the yolk in the very center of the albumen.
As this egg gets closer to the end of the oviduct, the egg shell begins forming. Calcite is deposited around the albumen and yolk and in some breeds, bile ducts deposit color, which is why the egg can be white, brown or even green or blue.
Once this is all done, the egg is laid by the hen through the cloaca also known as the vent.
All this takes about 24 hours.

What causes a fully formed chicken not to hatch in an incubator?
Often the mortality rate of near hatch chicks is because of low humidity or high temperatures. Once the chick is fully formed inside the shell, moisture keeps it lubricated for movement within the shell case. The chick needs to move in order to complete its peeping or breaking of the shell and dry shell/low humidity is often the culprit. The first few hole made by the egg tooth allow air inside the shell but also increases the release of moisture so the humidity in the incubator should always be at least 65% or better for good hatch rates.
How can a chicken lay a egg?
A chicken has a simliar reproductive system as any female animal has. From the ovaries a egg gets released into the fallopian tube. Then it travels down to the uterus where the egg begins to form. Once the egg is fully formed the uterus contracts and the egg is pushed out into the vagina and out the body.
