When an egg is fertilized, and it is incubated (whether by the hen sitting on it, or being kept in a warm box or special chamber), the baby chicken grows inside the shell, and when it is all grown as far as it can grow in the shell, it breaks the shell from the inside, with its beak, and thus, it hatches.


What called the cover of hen egg?

It depends on your definition. The hard outer covering of an egg is called a shell. It protects the contents of the egg, and gives chicks a safe place to develop when the egg is incubated. The coating that is put on the egg when it is laid which keeps out bacteria is called the bloom. The bloom protects the egg until it is washed off; at that time, the egg is then susceptible to germs entering the egg through the shell.
