A chicken egg typically takes 21 days to hatch. The incubator needs to be set at 87 degrees Fahrenheit in a humid environment for the first 18 days and 89 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit for the last three days.

28 days

21 days from the time the broody hen sits on the clutch of eggs.

Note: It may take a few days for the hen to lay enough eggs to set. Incubation starts when she remains on the nest all night and does not go to roost with the rest of the flock. When using an incubator, 21 days to first show and possibly a day or two more for final hatch depending on Temperature and humidity provided.

The incubation time for a chicken egg is approximately 21 days. If you are using an artificial incubator, not a broody hen, the temperature must be maintained at 100F and moderate humidity.

It takes 21 days from the day the eggs are set at temperature for the first chicks to emerge.
Opening the incubator too often can set this time back from a few hours to a full day.
