No. Only the fertilized eggs hatch. Eggs bought at the grocery store are not fertile and will never hatch. Even eggs that have been fertilized on the farm will only hatch if conditions are perfect and either set under a broody hen or artificially incubated. 21 days at 100.5 degrees F with a humidity of 50% or better are the ideal conditions for hatching.

∙ 15y agoShe goes what we call..."broody"
She will sit on the eggs using her own body heat and humidity to create idea conditions for the fertilized eggs to develop. Once she has a large enough clutch of eggs...she will steal eggs from other nests. She will stop moving off the nest for anything more than a quick (5 minutes or less) drink,snack or to defecate. She will stay on those eggs (and be quite protective) for 21 days and then she will keep the chicks with her until they are about a month old.
