How long does it take chicken eggs to hatch?

Answer 1

Chicken eggs take exactly 21 days from the date they are started incubating. Hatched naturally, most broody hens will take about 6 days to gather enough eggs and then set the nest. For the next 21 days she will seldom leave the nest except for defecating and occasionally for food and water. She will not allow the eggs to drop more than a degree or two in temperature.

Artificial incubation of eggs starts from the day you gather enough eggs. Eggs can be gathered for up to 7 days if the first of the eggs are maintained in cool humid conditions. Once enough have been collected they are set into the incubator and again, 21 days later they should start to peep (hatch).
