No: only mammals nurse their young by lactating (producing milk). Chicks are able to run about almost as soon as they hatch, and can therefore forage for their own food. The mother "shows them around" and protects them, but ultimately the chicks feed themselves. Pigeons, however, produce a "crop milk" that they regurgitate for their young, but this is fundamentally different than mammals' milk.

No, hens are birds and do not lactate. Chickens do not feed nor train their young to eat. Once a chick is hatched it is on it's own to find food.
