how long can a chicken leave her eggs
Eggs can keep for quite a while, while the hen is making a clutch.   How long does it take for her to make a clutch?   A clutch takes however long she'd like it to take lol. The average chicken lays about one egg every other day, and she, depending on her size, will likely make a clutch of 4-10 eggs.Once she stays on the nest fully for one whole day, you can count that as the first day of incubation, and start the 21 day countdown :).he average chicken lays about one egg every other day, and she, depending on her size, will likely make a clutch of 4-10 eggs.

Fertile eggs can be good for up to six weeks (in the right conditions) but are usually more successful if set within two or three weeks of being laid. A broody hen needs to stay on her nest pretty much constantly for around 21 days for the eggs to hatch.ertile eggs can be good for up to six weeks (in the right conditions) but are usually more successful if set within two or three weeks of being laid.
