Any egg could have technically become a chick, but the ones that we eat today have not been fertilized by the rooster, so they weren't going to become a chick.
Many years ago, I saw in a Biology book, some chicks that had developed from unfertilized eggs. They were very sickly, skinny and sterile. This process was called Parthenogenesis. But don't try to trip your teacher up with this one. Look it up in the Encyclopedia.

Can chicks in eggs go in the refrigerator for 30 minutes?
No, chicks should not be placed in the refrigerator, even for a short period of time. Chicks inside eggs need a stable and warm environment to develop and hatch successfully. Placing them in the refrigerator can disrupt their development and harm their chances of hatching.
What do people do with male chicks?
Male chicks are often culled after hatching in the egg industry because they do not lay eggs and are not suitable for meat production due to their slower growth rate compared to specialized broiler chickens. Some male chicks may be used for animal feed, pet food, or composting. Alternatives to culling, such as sexing techniques before hatching or using them for alternative purposes, are being explored by some farms.

Which got the first place egg or chicken?
welll.....chickens come from eggs and eggs come from chickens sooo....i dunno :DChickens evolved from earlier birds, so presumably in the distant past a bird that was almost, but not quite a chicken laid some eggs. Unfortunately, there was a mutation which meant that the chicks that came from the eggs weren't the same as their parents - they actually were chickens. So, the egg came first - what laid it wasn't a chicken.
Why is the price of free range eggs increasing?

Do chickens know when they lay eggs are they children?
They have an instinct that makes them sit on them to keep them warm, and they protect them, so they probably do know in some way that the eggs are going to hatch into chicks.

Eggs
Mallard duck nesting on about 17 duck eggs and 3 chicken eggs should remove the baby chicks from her when hatched so she will stay on the duck eggs until they hatch?
:: Answer place here (by supervisor) from discussion page;: That is way to many eggs for one duck to hatch. 8-12 is about the largest number of eggs for a nest. The mother will more than likely leave the duck eggs when most of the chicks hatch. I am not sure if you remove the chicks if she will stay sitting each duck is different. Some will stay with the nest to try to hatch the rest of the eggs but other will leave the nest completely. If it were me I would decide now which I wanted most, the ducklings or the chicks. : When ever you mess with a ducks nest she can give up on the nest and not hatch any of them after she has been sitting.
