Can you hatch a chick using an egg from the refrigerator?
No. The egg must be fertile, and being in the refrigerator for too long will kill any embryos. Eggs that are sold for consumption are never fertile, unless bought locally. Without a rooster the eggs will not be fertile, and batteries do not keep roosters, as roosters are not necessary for a hen to lay eggs.
How can you tell if the eggs are fertile?
Do you have a Rooster living with Hens? If so, chances are, yes, the eggs will be fertile. If the hen is brooding, meaning she is sitting on top of the egg to keep it warm, then it's probably fertile, if not, then it's not fertile. In any case should you have a rooster and a hen together, and the hen lays an egg, and it doesn't brood, then you should keep the egg warm. I think to check just hold the egg up to a light lol.
Do you need a roster for hens to lay eggs?
No,they lay eggs by them selfs but if you want CHICKS you need a roster to mate with thus they have chicks not eggs the normal ones.No, a hen will lay eggs regardless of there being a rooster so long as she is kept comfortable and happy with a safe quiet place to lay her eggs. A rooster is needed if you want to breed more chickens since he will fertilize the eggs.
Will all eggs laid by hens grow and develop into embryos?
No. Unless there has been a rooster to inseminate the hen, the eggs will not be fertile.

How often does a hen ovulate?
Hens ovulate daily: their eggs. If their eggs are fertile there is a chance of them hatching into chicks, if incubated correctly.
