No. Hens lay eggs without them being fertilized. Factory farmed eggs have 0% chance of being exposed to a rooster.

No.
Yes, you can!!!!
I have a friend who did it.
He was skeptical at first, but was able to do it. Probably cost him about $300 or so for all the equipment, but he was able to do it. You should give it a try.

Not entirely true. People have successfully done this with free range eggs. Some brands will have none that are viable, but some brands will have a small percentage still viable even after all that refrigeration.
Keep in mind how eggs are hatched: first the chicken lays one per day and does not sit on them, so they are at ambient temperature. Only after a full clutch has been laid does she go broody and incubate them. So they are designed to survive a week or so at temperatures.
Here is a link to some successful results (if very low hatch rates count as a success).
Anyway, if you really want to hatch eggs, you can buy eggs from hatcheries online or even on ebay. I got mine from Ebay. The hatch rate was 50% or me, the shipping process reduces the success rate, but not as badly as if it were in a grocery store shelf for weeks.

Would those eggs typically be at the grocery store? You might get some at a farm market or a roadside stand/house.
So you can't hatch these eggs because they haven't been fertilized?
What if you fertilized an egg you got at the grocery store, could you hatch it?
What would you get, a chicken? a man? some kind of chicken man? or some kind of man chicken?
Which came first the egg or the incubator?
You have to have sex with the chicken

If you go to that link you'll see a person hatched eggs from trader Joe's.
I suspect if you rub one out on a dozen grocery store eggs, one could possibly create a race of half human half chicken monsters.

Not if it's a duck or alligator egg.

What if you fertilize them yourself?
No, but if you incubated a partridge egg you might grow a pear tree.
