How long does it take for eggs to hatch?

depends. what kind of bird, where'd you get 'em, are they partway incubated, how long have they been sitting out, have they gone too cold, do you have a working incubator, and are they actually fertile?

Thanks ! I’m unsure when she laid them. It’s been cold here the past few nights! I will move them in to a nesting box and hopefully they will survive!

but...... do you have a rooster? is the hen incubating the eggs?

They have to be incubated, meaning they need to be sat on by a broody chicken or you put them in an incubator. What do you mean that you found them, where? Old eggs will have a worse hatch rate. Do you have a rooster?

Yes

so she is broody, but I’m still wondering if you have a rooster? Also where did you find the eggs?

I want to move her and her eggs into our enclosure.
