Hi, dont laugh I'm new to all this.
I've just found a clutch of eggs with the hen sitting on them ( they are not mine I'm only pet-sitting ) how long will it take until they hatch? :oops:

Hi June,

They take 21 days until they hatch.

Thank you,
I've got another 18 days here so maybe if they were laid a few days ago they may have hatched before I go home.
