Your hen will have to be broody. If she hasn't laid an egg yet, there's really no chance of her going broody and sitting on it. Sorry. An egg is good for up to a week after it is layed, as long as it doesn't go through huge temp changes--in other words, keep it cool (room temp is ok), but not COLD or hot.
You will need an incubator or a broody hen to hatch it.
