Chickens hatch after being sat on by the mother hen for 21 days. They are kept warm underneath her and there they form into chickens. The mother hen turns them from side to side, twice a day, for 18 days. Then, in the 3 days that follow, the chickens will hatch.
Eggs can only turn into chickens if they are fertilized (the hen being mated by a rooster).
Alternately, the eggs can also go into an incubator as long as a person does the same things as the mother hen - turning them.
