The chicken eggshell is 95-97% calcium carbonate with a stabilizing protein matrix. The shell can be dissolved by acids, including vinegar. If an egg is kept away from any acid attack, the shell can stay intact for years. If it is placed crushed and in contact with the ground, depending on soil acids, it may take weeks to months to disappear.

If you are talking about an experiment at home soaking an egg in 4% acetic acid vinegar. . . it will take 24 hours to show good results and 36-40 hours for the entire shell to disappear.

How do you chick comes out from the egg?

Chickens hatch after being sat on by the mother hen for 21 days. They are kept warm underneath her and there they form into chickens. The mother hen turns them from side to side, twice a day, for 18 days. Then, in the 3 days that follow, the chickens will hatch. Eggs can only turn into chickens if they are fertilized (the hen being mated by a rooster). Alternately, the eggs can also go into an incubator as long as a person does the same things as the mother hen - turning them.
