They sit on top of them to keep them warm until they hatch. Every once in a while, many chickens will turn them over so that all sides on all the eggs will stay warm.

Where do orphan chickens go?

Chickens are a domestic bird. They are raised by someone with the responsibility to see that the birds have everything they need to survive and produce. It is customary to remove eggs from the hen, unless provisions have been made to keep a broody hen, and then she needs some isolation from the flock, if she is to take care of the chicks. When the eggs are removed, incubated and raised by hand, it's the human's duty to care for his biddies.
