Chickens are one of the few animals that will lay infertile eggs. The eggs in your refrigerator would never hatch. That would be true even if they had never been in your refrigerator but had been in a nest. (A few chickens are put in pens with roosters. They lay fertile eggs. The eggs hatch and produce little chicks. Some of those will again grow up to be put in pens with roosters. Others will take the jobs of laying eggs. Others will become food.)
