unhatchable
Won't produce offspring
Unable to hatch.
An unhatchable egg contains no viable embryo or has been damaged beyond development.
The term applies literally to eggs—The farmer discarded the unhatchable ones—and figuratively to plans or ideas that will never come to fruition: an unhatchable scheme.
