NO- the vast majority of the commercial eggs are infertile- the hen never sees a rooster. Fertilization of the egg happend BEFORE the shell membranes and shell are added. Fertilization is not needed to form a shell.

Do birds eggs have to be fertilized to make chicks?

No, not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Most mass-produced eggs from battery farm operations are not fertilized, as the hens live their whole lives without seeing a rooster. Roosters must mate with the female chickens in order for the hens to produce fertilized eggs. No rooster, no fertilization. Hens are able to produce fertilized eggs for 1-2 weeks from one conjugal encounter with a rooster, but it takes a few days for the rooster's sperm to begin fertilizing her eggs.

Are unfertlized chicken eggs good to eat?

No, not all eggs are fertilized. In animal reproduction, fertilization occurs when a sperm cell combines with an egg cell to form a zygote. Eggs that are not fertilized will not develop into offspring.
