Hens really do not have a gestational period the way a mammal does.

Gestation refers to a mammals egg being fertilized and being nurtured inside the body until the baby is ready to be born.

But chickens do have about 26 hours between eggs, this is the time it takes for one egg to be formed.

And the chicken egg if fertilized can have an incubation period of 21 days at which time a baby chick will hatch out.
