21 (give or take) days for chickens :)
That's awesome! Speckled Sussex are very sweet birds, as are Buff Orpingtons.

Like Peepers said, 12 may be too many eggs. If they're all covered evenly under her body, then it's okay, tho.

Replying with a (dumb?) question - I have a silkie on 13 eggs, the first was laid May 1st - when should they hatch? 21 days from the first or from the last?

:frow Not dumb at all ;)
Make sure that the eggs are all easily covered. You don't want those babies getting cold haha. 21 days (give or take) for each egg. I've found that silkie eggs tend to hatch earlier, around late day 19 or 20. But that's just my personal experience.
They may all hatch on the same day if your hen didn't begin setting right from the start, or if you slipped all the eggs under her at the same time.
When they hatch, please post pics! My hen'S eggs haven't hatched (I'm really doubting their fertility or aliveness) and I'm in desperate need of some chick pics! :D
