Hatching refregirated eggs

[AseelMurgha]

So my hen gave some eggs which I placed in refregirator. Then after 4, 5 days I noticed that she is sitting on lone egg that she gave that day. That means she is now in heat and will sit on it for 21 days to hatch eggs. My question is if I place those refregirated eggs under her, will they hatch?

Chickens don't go into heat. They become broody.
I would remove the egg that is under her until you confirm that she is broody.

Does she get off the nest at all during the day or just once and then she returns?
Does she puff up and shriek or try to peck/bite you when you try to remove the egg? Going broody is a process.

How old is she?

WHERE is she doing this? You don't want her setting in a nest box. You want to graft her to a new nest that is semi-private where she can set the eggs. Graft her with fake eggs.

Do you have a rooster? How many other hens do you have? How large is your coop? Is it ground level or elevated? How large is your run?

Yeah I forgot that word broody. I am watching her for the past 4 , 5 hours and she is sitting on same place on an egg. Sometime she sits longer but not this much so I think she is broody but I will keep an eye on her.
She is sitting on top of washing machine lol which is her favourite place (this is where she lays eggs) so I will need to find a better place for her.
My another hen is broody and sitting on eggs in a cage for the past 10 days.
I have 3 hens and 3 roosters.

You may have a problem with that ratio of hens to roosters not only long term from over breeding the poor hens but after the hatch when all the males want to claim the offspring as theirs. I would rehome two of the males and keep the current flock leader and I'd do it now.
Give this article a read. I think it may help you understand some of the ways you can manage a broody and make the entire process enjoyable.

But what about refrigerated eggs? Will they hatch?

Just start collecting the eggs from your hens that are laying and set them once you have a decent sized clutch.
Refrigerated eggs can hatch but having them room temp and fresh always increases the chances for success.

I had a hen die about a month ago and we wanted to hatch her eggs. The problem was we put them in the fridge to eat. The oldest had been in there for a week. I let them sit pointy end down on my counter overnight, then put them in the incubator the next morning. 1 had been washed and it did not develop. If these eggs have been washed they will not hatch. The bloom will have been taken off so if they start developing bacteria will get in and kill them. 3 out of 4 eggs pipped. One had an internal deformity of some sort so she DIS. The other 2 are happy healthy 3 week olds.

Assuming she only has 1 hen.

Great! So that means there is a chance. I also placed those eggs pointy end down and they have not been washed.

Yes. My only tip is to let them sit out on the counter overnight so they can warm to room temperature.
