21 days from the day they are set into the incubator (not from the day they are laid).
A broody hen will collect a clutch for up to one week before setting on the eggs and they will all hatch within about 12 hours of each other.

Depends on what kind of egg. An average time for a chicken egg at optimal temperature is 21 days. Every animal is different. Muscovy is a type of duck but the incubation time is longer than most other types of ducks.

Duck, Thurkey, and Goose eggs take about 28-30 days to hatch, except for muscovie ducks which take about 35 days. Guinea hen eggs take 26-28 days. Chicken eggs take about 21 days. A incubator will have instructions on it about the tempature.
