Chicken eggs require 21 days at 101F to hatch. When trying to hatch chicken eggs, give them a few extra days before throwing out eggs that have not hatched as they may have been cold and needed a day or so to come up to incubation temperature.

How long does it take for a hen to hatch its egg?
After she gets her clutch made, the eggs will hatch in approx. 21 days. She makes a clutch because if she just kept laying eggs and sitting on them, the chicks would all hatch on different days. Eggs can keep for quite a while, while the hen is making a clutch. How long does it take for her to make a "clutch"? A "clutch" takes however long she'd like it to take lol. The average chicken lays about one egg every other day, and she, depending on her size, will likely make a clutch of 4-10 eggs. Once she stays on the nest fully for one whole day, you can count that as the first day of incubation, and start the 21 day countdown :)
