rooster and chicks it depends on how big the egg
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.
Brood hens hatch chicks. A brood is a collection of baby chicks hatched by one hen.
Brood means to worry. It originally referred to the behaviour of hens sitting on hens to make them hatch. The behaviour of the hens at this time became "broody"--worried.
Maybe. :)
As long as no humans collect them or critters eat them, they are very safe if the hens can set on them as needed to hatch.
18 days - it always takes the same number of days (roughly) to hatch eggs.
no that is how people eat eggs. we eat eggs that chickens/hens hatch that aren't fertilized.
Roosters don't lay eggs. Hens do.
hens take 21 days
Eggs in a carton are not fertilized, so they have nothing to hatch. Plus, the yolks are mad at their mommy hens and daddies. (joking)
Probably not, and if chicks hatch in winter, they'll get cold without protection. It's best to hatch eggs in the spring.
No they do not. If they did it would be very easy to separate the future roosters from the future hens.
