How long does it take a chicken egg to be hatched?
Hen eggs take 21 days to hatch, duck and turkey eggs 28 days, most goose eggs 28 - 30 days and Muscovy eggs 35 days. Some very small bantam eggs may be a day early and really large poultry such as Cochins may be a day extra. Unless temperature has dropped or risen then it may take a chicken egg to hatch up to 25 days.

Question would be better starting 'On average how long...'

Why is "All of the above are wrong." appearing at the top of the list?

WRONG ANSWER: Even the explanation says it can take over three weeks which is one of the answers. It takes 21 days for a chicken egg to hatch. It takes longer for some – so have hope until Day 23. We’ve heard of a hen taking 25 days to hatch an egg but that is unusual. The question does not say the 'average' time therefore the answer is wrong.
