Incubation time will differ depending on the particular type of poultry.
For chickens the incubation time (time it takes for a chick grow to hatch) is 21 days. For turkeys, ducks and most of the other birds, incubation is 28 days.
This number is not set in stone as you can expect the eggs to "pip" (see the first cracks in the shell) at 21 or 28 days, and it may be earlier or later depending on environmental conditions.
Hatching time -- from pipping until you see a wet bit of fluff -- depends on the strength of the chick, the hen's contribution and the environmental conditions. It can be as quick as 2 hours and as long as a full day.
