Chickens don't get pregnant: they take 24 hours to produce an egg which leaves its body. When the hen decides it is time to be a mother hen, she goes "broody" and stays on that egg along with several more and all she can gather from other chickens. The hen sits on the eggs for 21 days and the eggs start to hatch. The mother hen then takes care of the chicks for about 3 months before starting to lay eggs again.
