Peeping eggs

I have chicken eggs that have been in the bator for 22 days and I just heard peeping from one egg today! Any idea how many days till they hatch?

You can usually figure on seeing an external pip within 24 hours of the internal pip, (give or take) and then once it externally pips it can take up to another 24 hours before it begins to "zip" and hatch. So anywhere between 24-48 hours I would say.
