Hen. A rooster is a chicken of the male gender, so the opposite (in gender) is the female, or hen.
The hen can take short periods off the nest and it will not hurt the brood. A period of over an hour or two may do damage to the brood.
A young male bird under 6 months is a cock, a young female under 6 months is a pullet. After they are over 6 months they become known as a rooster and a hen.
Broody hens do and will leave the eggs for a small amount of time. They will leave to eat, drink and defecate. They will usually do this when things in the coop are calm and quiet. If a hen remains off the nest for more than an hour or so then there may be a problem. The incubating eggs cannot be allowed to cool more than a few degrees and the hen instinctively knows this. If your hen has left the nest for more than two hours you should remove the eggs and artificially incubate as soon as possible. 100.5 F with a humidity of 60% will work fine.
