No. The hen is not considered pregnant. It is merely ovulating or producing an egg.
A hen.
It obviously depends on the size of the hen, the diet of the hen, if it's pregnant or not. It's a bit like asking 'How much does a human weigh?'. TYpically, a healthy hen will weigh around 500 grams to 600 grams, and a pregnant one ready to lay eggs will be up to one kilogram.
Roosters don't get the hen pregnant but fertilise the eggs inside her. Chickens are born not from a Mother hen but come from the eggs she lays. The egg fertilisation process takes place when the rooster "Mounts" the hen.
Hens do not get "pregnant" They produce an egg every 24 hours approximately. That egg may or may not be fertile depending on if the hen has been mated with a rooster in the previous 7 days. The hen will produce the egg with or without the roosters involvement.
