Not all chickens will care for their eggs. If they do care for them they are called a Broody.

They have the instinct same as any human mother will care for her children. They will sit on the eggs for 21 days. Softly rotating them as she shifts her body. If an egg is not developing she will sense it and push it out from under her.

Most common breed to go broody is a silkie.
