Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs. It's snakes, rats, raccoons, opossums and other such animals. I suggest you strengthen your coups defenses or bye/make an incubator otherwise you will never have your eggs hatch out.

How do you know that a chicken egg is fertile without breaking it?
When its just fresh there's no telling. After the hen has been sitting on it or has been in an incubator you can tell be holding it against a bright light (you can see blood veins in the egg) or put it in water; a fertilized egg will float, and a non fertilized egg will sick. A spoiled/ rotten egg will float as well, but it will be quiet old when that happens.

No. A chicken can produce eggs without a rooster but she can not produce a chick without her eggs being fertilized by a rooster.
How can you incubate chicken eggs without an incubator?
Set up a box to use as a nest and use a 60w-75w incandescent globe to provide heat. (If you have a thermometer - about 100 degrees F is good.) Roll the eggs each day using moist fingers (this provides the small amount of humidity required.) Chicken Eggs take approximately 21 days to hatch. By the end of the first week you will be able to candle the eggs and see the veins forming and even the embryo's eye! Around the 18th day you may be able to hear "peeping" and pecking from inside the egg. Don't be tempted to "help" the bird - it may hatch too early and die. If you don't have a globe or a lamp, you can do what I do - I pad out our Towel Heater with towels and form a "cradle" at the back - sitting the eggs between the towel heater and the wall. The temperature seems to be perfect for hatching eggs.

How long do chicks stay in a incubator?
They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.

How do you hatch Japanese quail eggs without an incubator?
Use a broody bantam chicken to sit on them. Actually, peafowl farmers often use a broody hen to sit on peafowl eggs for the first seven days, then put them in an incubator for the remaining 21 days. This is done because there is something about the early development of the embryo that works better under a bird.
