Do eggs sold in the store hatch? If they don't then they must not be fertile.
I Highly doubt it. Simply for the fact that the chick will long be dead due to lack of warmth if it was & hold it up to a bright light or a candle. I hear that is how you can check them to see if they contain a growing chick.
Also it doesn't seem economically viable to keep roosters with hens, as they are territorial & would only be used to reproduce more chickens for the farm

On occasion, they are fertile, but an embryonic egg could never produce a chick, because eggs are normally kept refrigerated. If ever you break an egg and find a red spot in the yolk, it was intended to be a chick.
Eggs produced for the commercial market are not fertilized. You can buy fertilized eggs in some stores, but they are more expensive than normal eggs.
Roosters are nowhere near hens in farms where they produce eggs for sale to grocery stores. In some local, farmers markets, you might get a fertilized egg every once in a while.
In a factory farm the hens are locked in cages. The male is at the end locked in a cage. The eggs aren't fertile.
No rooster - no fertile eggs. You will not find roosters in the egg factory. Only hens.
