How you can obtain fertilized and unfertilized egg from hens?
Once hens are of a certain age, they will produce eggs. If you want an unfertilized egg, don't put the hen with a rooster. Depending on the breed, she will give you 1-6 eggs per week. If you don't have a nest box for her, she will make a nest on the ground. If you want fertilized eggs, place a rooster with the hen, make sure the rooster knows his job, and the next day you may have a fertilized egg. There is a way to tell if the egg has been fertilized once it's cracked open, but through the shell, you can't tell until the egg is incubated and the chick starts to develop.
