No but egg producers would sure like to figure out how. Gender is determined when the germinal disc is formed high in the ovaries of the hen. There is some indication that a hatch will produce a higher male ratio when slightly warmer conditions exist during incubation. It is also known that the hatch suffers more dead loss.

Can a cold egg hatch a chick?
No. Chickens are warm blooded birds. Just like any warm blooded creature (e.g. humans), if they stay too cold for too long, they will die. If the egg is cold, the chick will die before the egg can hatch. That's why hens sit on their eggs to keep them warm.
Why does a hen sit on her egg?
For the chicks in the eggs to develop and hatch properly, the eggs must be kept warm. The chicken's body heat keeps them warm. If the eggs are taken away from the hen and still meant to hatch, they are kept in an incubator to maintain the right temperature. If they aren't meant to hatch, the are refrigerated. This stops the development of the chick. Supermarket eggs aren't usually fertilized so there isn't a chick to develop, but they are still refrigerated to keep them fresh.
What is the purpose of candling hatching eggs?
Eggs about to hatch are candled to find out the stage of development of the chick inside. An eggshell is very easy to see through when held up to a light. This lets the farmer know the approximate time when the chicks will hatch. It also lets the farmer know which eggs are not going to hatch.

How you hatch a chicken from your refrigerator?
Sorry :) You don't. The eggs you buy at the grocery store are not fertilized and will never produce a chick no matter how much you want them to. To hatch a chick you must have a source of viable eggs from a farm with a rooster. The egg can be no older than 7 days and must be incubated in ideal conditions for 21 days.
Do people eat eggs before they hatch?

Can a chicken produce a chick without a rooster?
No, a chicken needs a rooster to fertilize the egg in order for it to develop into a chick. Without the rooster's contribution, the eggs laid by a hen will remain unfertilized and will not hatch into chicks.
