Best Answer: It all depends on the thickness of the egg and the conditions. Naturally for a 'cooking egg' shell takes around 2 weeks to decompose completely in my garden.
The shell is created by calcium deposition around the forming egg within the uterus. The fertilized ova takes approximately 4 hours to travel to the uterus. Once in the uterus, calcification of the egg's shell takes approximately 20 hours. This is why a hen can only lay one egg per 24 hour period. About 15 minutes after the first egg is laid, the hen ovulates again and the process is repeated.
