Quite simply...No people would argue lots of factors needed to produce good eggs, but this is not one of them. If you meant good chickens then yes, you need heat. (i mean chickens to hatch from the eggs) Quite simply...No people would argue lots of factors needed to produce good eggs, but this is not one of them.

on sitting on them Hens on a farm lay eggs into straw and the hens sit on the eggs until they hatch. Hens in large chicken farms do get to have such a luxury. The chickens' eggs are kept under heat until they hatch.
Chickens themselves produce heat. A single 5lb commercial laying hen produces something like 10 watts of heat so having 10 chickens in the coop is about the same as running a 100w lightbulb.
it is good 4 your health and i think it doesnt produce heat to your body
No, they will lay eggs even if they don't have a rooster. If you want chicks however you have to have a rooster.Yes chickens doo. they start to lay eggs at about 6-8 weeks of age regardless if there is a rooster around or not. if you have a rooster you can not eat the eggs as they may be fertile. in extreem heat or cold chickens may not lay for a few weeks expectialy if the temprature changed quickley. chickens also go cluckey, wich means they want to become a mum. they will sit on the nest if the is a egg there or not and can die if it is very hot. it is then they must be taken of the nest by force. when nesting they can be quite frocious and peek you. they will also do this without a rooster. they are great to have around and make your home feel that little bit better.
With good feed a heat lamp in winter and other conditions the will grow strong
Mercury is a good conductor of heat. Unfortunately, heat will produce vapor which is toxic.
Chickens do best in moderate temperatures. The are adaptable to extremes, but need shelter from the severe cold and heat. Temperatures from 50F to 80F are preferred as far as laying eggs. Day old chicks need the higher temperatures only until their feathers are fully formed.
Yes. They need to be kept at the same temperature for the whole incubation period. For instance, chickens = 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit for 21 days.
Hens often times quit laying eggs if they are in molt, It is to cold, or they are old. If it is cold where you live try giving them a heat lamp in the coop. If they are in molt you will have to wait until they are done. When hens get old they quit laying and are just cute pets! There are lots of good chicken sites on-line. Just goggle "raising chickens" and you should get tons of info.
You should always inoslate your chickens because they wil not be happy if the don't get the heat and light they need and the will not show good and could be acting weird
by fire . an electric heater is a metal, and a metal is a good conductor of heat. so it can produce heat
To avoid rusting. Corrugated metals don't rust, no matter the amount of heat and water on it.
