Best Answer: To hatch an egg takes around 21 days, and the time between when the chick first breaks the air sac and begins to come out of the shell should be within 24 hours.Some chicks come out quickly, some take alot longer.Usually after 24 hours the struggle is useless and the chick will end up dieing. If it's already halfway out some people will help it. (Not usually a good idea, but for those that won't make it otherwise it's necesary).nce they pierce the shell it can take them 2 to 12 hours.
