Why does a mother chicken rotate her eggs while sitting on them?
If the eggs are not rotated, the yolk may stick to the inside of the shell, resulting in the loss of the chick. The hen moves her eggs in order to keep the yolk centered in the albumen. If the egg is left sitting still while it is developing the heavy yolk will drop and develop too close to one side of the inner shell possibly causing a deformity.

How many eggs have to be in the nest for them to sit?
It depends on the chicken. Some will sit and then gradually get more and more eggs. Chickens in all don't have a "limit" of eggs they will sit. Often a hen will go broody without sitting on any eggs. Some hens have sat on twenty eggs but it can be hard for them. Sometimes one egg. But on average and for an average chicken, it would be around a dozen.
