How long does it take for a Chicken to hatch?
I am hatching some Seabrights. They are very small chickens. Will they hatch earlier than 21 days because they are a smaller breed. I know that with call ducks they hatch 2-3 days earlier than regular ducks because they are smaller. I cant find this information anywhere. Please answer me.
Do smaller chickens hatch earlier than larger ones?
Mine are due on April 5th. I am also hatching Silver Searbrights, Delwares, Key West Chickens, and Aracunas (I dont know if this is the right spelling). Thanks for you answer Tris.
Well today is day 19 and one of the seabrights is hatching. There is a little peep hole and you can hear the chick peeping. Yay. I cant wait for them to hatch.
Another seabright is pipping a hole. So now there is 2 chicks pipping. they should be out by tomorrow morning. Also a Deleware chick is moving around in the egg alot.

Your right about there not being enough info on this! i even looked for you but found nothing! but just out of "eggspiriance" I can tell you that they probably will hatch the same as the other chickens! bantams are super small and they hatch in 21 days! but watch out just in case they do hatch early! (if they do it won't be nothing but 1 or 2 days!) i'm having two chickens sit on eggs (a buff orpington and a australorp) and they are do on Easter! i didn't know that they would fall on Easter until later! perfect timing!
The best of luck with your little seabrights! they will be darling!
Keep in touch!

Small chickens don't really take any less time to hatch. Bantams (mini breed chickens) hatch in about twenty one days just like any other chicken.
