how long does it take to hatch chicken eggs?

[beverlyl]

First time incubating and I don't have a clue how long it takes to hatch. I was given 18 easter eggs

and stold 2 from my white leghorns moms and baredrock dad. So do eggs usually take about the same time or do some breeds take longer?

thanks for any help

Chicken eggs take approximately 21 days. This can vary due to environmental conditions such as temperature and embryo development.

21 days! They could start pipping on day 20 but usually right on schedule 21 days and can last to day 23....from my experience!
