No it wont because the egg farmers only send out eggs that arent fertilized... I guess there is a 1 in a million chance that one might have accidently been fertilized.. but no you have to go get an egg that HAS been fertilized in order for it to hatch in an incubator.

That depends on
(1) whether the egg was fertilized by a male;
(2) time duration since it left the hen's oviduct (assuming it's a hen's egg that one bought from the store, to begin with);
(3) whether, and for how long, the egg was refrigerated;
and, (4) whether the incubator is functioning within the normal temperature range for hen's eggs.

No it will not hatch, because it has never been fertilized. The chickens are kept in separate cages and no rooster is there. They only have the hens for laying.

Not only does it have to be a fertilized egg but the egg has to sustain a warm temperature from day one to keep the embreo alive.

No. Most are not fertilized. And I don't think even fertilized eggs will hatch if they've been kept refrigerated.

if hen that laid egg was not with a rooster, then no, the egg will not hatch and produce a chick...i believe that most commercial egg laying hens are kept isolated..

No. It is infertile and has been zapped with radiation to boot. Try buying fertile eggs from someone raising them.

No.The fetus inside would not've been fertilised and it would've not been warmed. If those two things are not done, there was no living thing in it to begin with.

No . . . the time it's spent being frozen will have killed the embryo.

no they are sent sterilized. plus you would need a rooster to fertilize it first.
