When is a chicken born?

Answer 1

It takes 21 days to hatch an egg, but it has to be turned for the first 18 days, twice a day (one turn in the morning, and one at night). Some chickens have hatched at 21-24 days, though 21 days is the main time.

Answer 2

21 days from the day she remains on the clutch. Please note, she may start to brood on one or two eggs but will leave the nest for long periods. This slows the hatch until she has gathered enough eggs and stays brooding up to 23 hours per day. The hen will leave the nest for defecation and food/water only.

Answer 3

21 days is the incubation period. Keep in mind that the eggs must be started at the same time, the broody hen will not set on the eggs until she has gathered a full clutch. When collecting eggs for incubation, they can be safely stored for up to 7 days in cool humidity and turned daily without starting the embryonic development. Once enough eggs are collected all the collected eggs should be started at the same time and none added later or this will cause problems in the brooder box later as the younger weaker birds will be harassed by their older "siblings".

Answer 4

It takes 1 day from start to finish for the egg formation. Many breeds lay one egg per day.

Answer 5

It takes an average of 45 days (6 months) for a 5 pound chicken to grow.

Answer 6

It takes 21 days for a standard breed chicken at 99.5 degrees F. to hatch!

Answer 7

Chickens are not born they are hatched.

Chickens are hatched after 21 days of incubation.
