21 days from the time the broody hen sits on the clutch of eggs.
Note: It may take a few days for the hen to lay enough eggs to set. Incubation starts when she remains on the nest all night and does not go to roost with the rest of the flock. When using an incubator, 21 days to first show and possibly a day or two more for final hatch depending on Temperature and humidity provided.
