Eggs get fertilized by the cockerel. Sorry, you don't get to choose what gender comes from the fertile egg, neither does the rooster nor the hen.

A chicken is hatched in an?
A chicken can be hatched from under the mother hen after 21 days of sitting on them, as long as the eggs are turned for the first 18 days, twice a day (morning and night). But, I think you are referring to an incubator, where you put fertilized eggs at a certain temperature, and turn them just as a mother hen would do. I have put a lot of eggs in my incubator, and most of them hatched, so you've got a good chance to hatching most eggs.
