No. Most hens just walk away from the eggs they lay anyway. A broody hen who is instinctively tuned into hatching hers (and any other hens eggs she can steal) will get cranky about the loss of eggs but there is no sadness involved.

First off a chick can NOT lay an egg. It has to fully mature into a hen. Basically the eggs get formed by intercourse. Instead of getting pregnant, they lay an egg. After sitting on the egg for awhile (to keep it warm) itwill hatch and their will be your baby rooster or hen. Hope I helped!
