how many days for turtle eggs to hatch minecraft

Turtle eggs in Minecraft take about 4 to 5 in-game days (nights) to hatch into baby turtles, with 90% of eggs hatching within 7 nights or less. The hatching process is much faster at night, as eggs crack primarily during nighttime ticks. Eggs must be placed on sand or red sand blocks to hatch and need to be protected from mobs like zombies that can trample and destroy them. Additionally, the player must stay within 128 blocks of the eggs for them to progress toward hatching. Multiple eggs on the same block will hatch simultaneously. After hatching, baby turtles take about one in-game day to grow into adults
