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.
If you have a chicken how do you know if the egg has a chicken in it or you can eat it?
1. If no rooster is present, then there is no way the egg will be fertilised, so it will not have a chick in it. 2. If the egg is freshly laid, and removed immediately and refrigerated, it will not have a chick in it.
