Fertilized eggs implant themselves on the uterine lining to provide a place for the placenta to develope. The placenta attaches the baby to the mother via umbillical cord to supply nourishment, oxygen, and blood to the fetus. Occasionally (not very often) the fertilized egg will implant itself in the fallopian tube in which case is called an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies must be terminated due to the high risk of killing the mother as well as the fetus. If an egg doesnt implant it will be expelled with the uterine lining that sheds during a womans period.

yes they can, but only if the egg hasn't started its growing cycle yet. so a chicken can lay an egg and it can go cold for a few days, but once it starts growing (via incubator or broody chicken) it musnt go cold. if your using broody chickens to hatch the eggs let the chicken off no longer than 20mins a day to eat,drink water, dust bath and poop.
