Oviparous animals with no gestation period?
There are many fish and amphibians for which the female lays soft-shelled unfertilized eggs, which the male then fertilizes. Because the fertilized eggs were never inside the female's body, one might say that there was no gestation period. However, all animals that have internal fertilization have some length of gestation period. For most animals, the gestation period is much shorter than the time between laying the eggs and the eggs hatching: for example, a chicken egg has a gestation period of one day, but the eggs do not hatch until 24 days after being laid. Monotreme mammals (platypuses and echidnas) have longer gestation periods and proportionally shorter distances between the laying of the eggs and the eggs hatching.

How long is the gestation period for a chicken -?
Chickens don't get pregnant: they take 24 hours to produce an egg which leaves its body. When the hen decides it is time to be a mother hen, she goes "broody" and stays on that egg along with several more and all she can gather from other chickens. The hen sits on the eggs for 21 days and the eggs start to hatch. The mother hen then takes care of the chicks for about 3 months before starting to lay eggs again.
