It takes 24 hours.
The yolk, which is called an oocyte is produced by the hens ovary in a process we call ovulation. As the yolk is released into the oviduct it is fertilized by sperm deposited by the rooster up to 10 days prior to the ovulation.
Fertilized or not, that yolk continues down the oviduct and is covered by the vitelline membrane, structural fibers and albumen in the magnus area of the oviduct.
As this forming egg continues it's travel down the oviduct it rotates continually within the spiraling tube (oviduct) and this movement twists the structural fibers forming rope like strands called chalazae. two of these chalazae anchor the yolk in the very center of the albumen.
As this egg gets closer to the end of the oviduct, the egg shell begins forming. Calcite is deposited around the albumen and yolk and in some breeds, bile ducts deposit color, which is why the egg can be white, brown or even green or blue.
Once this is all done, the egg is laid by the hen through the cloaca also known as the vent.
All this takes about 24 hours.

No, you cannot determine the sex of a chicken by the shape of its egg. The sex of a chicken is determined by its genetics, not the shape of the egg. Roosters and hens can both lay eggs, but only hens can lay fertilized eggs that develop into chicks.
When is a chicken fullgrown?
A chicken can be considered fully grown at one year. Prior to that changes are still going on inside and out and the bird is still learning how to be a chicken. Hens under one year are called PULLETS and Roosters under one year are called Cockerels. When they reach that first year milestone they are then called hens and roosters.
