If you’re asking if the chicken will hatch the egg bc you touched it....
So, first of all it’s an old wives tale that birds smell humans on their eggs and abandon them. They don’t have advanced enough senses of smell so that’s not true of any bird anywhere. Second, you have to have a broody hen on order for them to hatch the eggs. If she laid it right on the ground out in the open, she’s not looking to hatch a clutch.
