How are penguins born?
One of the toughest challenges for penguins is the birth of a baby chick. Once the female penguin forms the egg with the baby chick inside, the daddy penguin keeps the egg warm on his feet under his feathers. That means he has to walk on his heels for about a couple weeks to even a entire month! If he drops it, the chick will freeze to death and it will never hatch. Dads are responsible for the babies. The moms go out to collect fish to eat. When she finally returns back, she regurgitates it to the baby. (Or spit out of her body. I know it sounds disgusting, but it's true.)

You don't. Think about it. This is kind of like asking "how do you get a woman to have a baby fast?" If the egg hatches significantly sooner than normal, the chick inside will not be fully developed yet and will probably die.
Can a cold egg hatch a chick?
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.
How can I hatch an egg at home?

How can you tell if a bobwhite quail is alive or dead or about to hatch?
Well since I have a Bobwhite Quail egg at home, when it is dead it is cold even when it has been in an incubator. When it is about to hatch you will hear peeping inside the egg. If it is alive than it will be warm. To keep it warm and alive you have to turn the egg 3 times a day. It takes about 23 to 24 days to hatch if you have cared for it correctly. However it may hatch early.
