Chicken eggs only need to be turned when someone has planned to hatch them out (whether it be a Hen in a nest or a Human with an incubator). The eggs have to be turned so that the Embryo (the white skin surrounding the yolk and Albumen on the inside of the egg) does not stick the egg shell. If the egg has fail being turned the chick may have great difficulty getting out of the egg and can even suffocate if no help is given to aid the chicken in hatching when the egg has never been turned.
