Chicken Q&A: Poultry Egg Development

Question: How long does it take for an egg to develop into a chick and hatch?

Answer: About three weeks, twenty-one days to be exact. Goose, duck, pheasant, and quail eggs vary widely, so you should go to a site specifically about those breeds, since Farmlinks is mainly about raising chickens.

Okay,I hatched chicks at school and none of them hatched.We are going to get some day old Australorps which we are going to keep them until they are fully grown. Once they are fully grown, we are taking them to a farm. Now here is my question. I have 21" by 35" cage. How many could I comfortably fit in there? Please respond soon. We would like to get them as soon as possible.
