Chickens hatch after being sat on by the mother hen for 21 days. They are kept warm underneath her and there they form into chickens. The mother hen turns them from side to side, twice a day, for 18 days. Then, in the 3 days that follow, the chickens will hatch.
Eggs can only turn into chickens if they are fertilized (the hen being mated by a rooster).
Alternately, the eggs can also go into an incubator as long as a person does the same things as the mother hen - turning them.

How do I explain to a child the difference between the food egg and the baby chick egg?
You can explain to the child that a food egg, like the ones we eat, comes from a hen and is just an egg that doesn't have a baby chick inside. In contrast, a baby chick egg has a tiny chick developing inside it, which will eventually hatch into a baby chicken if it is kept warm and safe. So, one is for eating, while the other is for growing a new chick!
Which end of the chicken egg comes out first?
The end where the baby chick's head was positioned. Otherwise it would have been born backwards or what is commonly known as breech birth. Chicken's may be dumb but that at least know which way is up!
Where does a chick come from?
A chick comes from an egg laid by a hen. Inside the egg, the fertilized embryo develops over about 21 days through a process called incubation, during which the hen keeps the egg warm. Once fully developed, the chick hatches by breaking through the eggshell. This process is a key part of the reproductive cycle in birds.

What is first-egg or chick?
I would have to say it depends on your point of view. The chicken giving birth to the egg most definitely comes before the egg. However the chick being given birth to is both a chick and an egg, being that the egg is a chick in its simplest form of infancy. It is like asking what came first the man or the infant boy? The infant is both an infant boy and a man just not yet reached a higher level of maturity or thought.
What is the history of baby chickens?
