It takes 23 days for a chicken egg to hatch, provided it is kept warm & turned every day.

Umm... actually, it takes 21 days to hatch an egg, but it has to be turned for the first 18 days, twice a day (one turn in the morning, and one at night). Some chickens have hatched at 21-24 days, though 21 days is the main time.

It takes 21 days in an incubator. Under the mother hen it can take longer as she will not sit consistently until she has enough eggs in the clutch. Temperature and humidity are the main factors in development of the chick in the egg, this will not start for 36 to 48 hours.

How long can a chick live in its shell after breaking through the air sac I have lost one chick in the shell already?

It can take up to 24 hours for the chick to complete its escape. It is best not to help the chick break out of the shell as you can damage the chick trying to help. There is a supply of blood in the shell membrane that will weaken the chick if broken early. Increase the humidity in the incubator, lack of moisture is the main reason for die off in the shell during peeping. try for 75% humidity.

How long does it take for a chick to pip?

We just had a chick that hatched tonight, it started peeping as it was still hatching. Added: It depends on the chick. This morning I had a chick pip a small amount and now it is 4:00 in the evening. It is barely really starting to pip the egg. Another chick that was hatching this morning just came out of the shell about an hour ago. I was worried the little one didn't make it or something. But everything seems just fine.
