Chickens eggs hatching

[Kamene3sep]

I started keeping chicken in Dec with 2 a hen n a cock. The hen has started laying eggs about 10pcs when will they start hatching?

Generally, it will take 21 days for eggs to hatch after they are either incubated or a hen sits on them.

Is the hen now laying on the eggs (brooding)? You also need to make sure the eggs are fertile and can do that through candling.

eLengo also offers an online course in poultry farming if you are interested in further education.

for the eggs to hatch the hen must seat on them or your incubate the eggs. the priod takes 21 days. for good hatch rate the eggs should be aged 7 days and below.
