Like Thebrick11 said, the egg has to be fertilized for it to hatch as a chick. Eggs that you eat haven't been fertilized yet. Ripto, to answer your question, farms typically have different pens for the male and female chickens. They have pen with just the females, and another with both females and males. The ones with only females are the ones they get eggs from. The eggs from the pen with both genders will hatch into more chickens. Occasionally you can find an egg that was accidentaly fertilized but its so rare it probably will never happen to you.
