Under optimum conditions; good nutrition, ideal day length (12 to14hrs.), adequate housing and good management practices, most layers should begin egg production at about 20-26 weeks of age.
Ovulation occurs every 24-26 hours in good egg producers.
The chicken usually lays the egg about 24 hours after ovulation.
21 days is the incubation time for all chicken breeds.
The actual formation of the egg inside the chicken takes about 24 hours, but when they sit down to lay the egg it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a couple of hours.
With optimum conditions such as temperature and humidity a chicken egg takes 21 days to hatch. From when it was layed, about 20-28 days,depending on the breed. From the time when the egg first cracked, about one day. This is a very slow process.
Ushally it will take a chicken about 1 or 2 days before another egg is layed but if you let kids and dogs and other animals chase the chickens it will be stressed out and it will take longer for the chicken to lay an egg which is about up to 3 or 4 day to lay another.
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.
It takes 12 eggs to make a dozen. If 1.5 chickens produce 1.5 eggs, then 1 chicken produces 1 egg, and it takes 12 chickens to produce 1 dozen eggs.
one reason is that crab eggs are smaller so take less energy each to produce
A chicken in prime laying condition will produce an egg every 24 hours.
21 days is the incubation time for all chicken breeds.
.... no.
We take the eggs daily, sometimes right after they lay (if we are in the area) and some time a couple hours after.
A chicken egg takes 21 days to hatch. It may take slightly more or less depending on the temperature and breed. Goose and duck eggs take as few days longer.
All chicken eggs take 21 days to hatch. The temperature is 100 degrees and the eggs must be turned three times per day.

chicken takes 3 weeks to hatch, so it should take 3 weeks.
Yes, a broody hen will sit in an empty nest, but not for long. The longest I've seen is one week with no eggs under her. Normally a chicken's egg will take 3 weeks to incubate. I have placed turkey, duck and goose eggs under chicken hens, and they will sit for those 28 required days and then take on another batch immediately for another month of sitting.
