I am assuming you mean how long does it take after the eggs are laid. The answer is about 23 days. They will hatch in the order they are laid, but sometimes the day count is a bit off, because the hen will not begin to incubate the eggies until the second or third one is laid.

If you mean how long for eggies to hatch after the hen is mated, well, the egg gets laid within ten days after it is fertilized, then another 23 days in the nest before chickies appear.
