today is the 19th day senesce I put eggs into the incubator I am told or have read that it takes anywhere from 21 days to 28 days to hatch eggs. I also have a hen that is brooding too so I hope all eggs will hatch about the same time,I will have to move the baby's to the new pin on the out side very soon well it is summer time so they should be ok at night.

If you're talking about chicken eggs, it is 21 days.
Other species can be from 16 t0 53 days depending on the species.
A broody hen will keep her chicks warm but for your incubator chicks, unless it stays about 85-90F around the clock, they'll need a source of heat the first few weeks.

I have a heat lap in tub there that keeps the warm up to 100 deg. at the start and then I can back it off a little at a time
