They can. It is better to have enough room in the incubator to turn them twice a day. Most incubators now have an optional turner to do this work for you and thereby restricts the number of eggs. Touching together is fine but do not stack them on top of each other.
Birds incubating their eggs means that they are sitting on top of the eggs to keep them warm until they hatch. The heat from the parent's body helps in the development of the embryos inside the eggs. This process is essential for the survival of the offspring.
Hens typically start sitting on their eggs (incubating) when they have a complete clutch, which is usually around 12-15 eggs depending on the breed. If she starts to sit on the eggs before the clutch is complete, they may not all hatch at the same time. It's best to allow the hen to gather a full clutch before she starts incubating.
A cuckoo burrow is a narrow tunnel or chamber in the ground where a cuckoo bird lays its eggs. The cuckoo does not build its own nest but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other bird species, tricking them into incubating and raising its young.
Animals take care of their eggs by providing warmth and protection. This can involve incubating the eggs by sitting on them to keep them warm, building nests to shield them from predators, and in some cases, actively guarding the eggs until they hatch. Additionally, some animals may provide nutrients or other essentials to the eggs as they develop.
The gestation period for mockingbird eggs is typically around 12-14 days. During this time, the parent birds will take turns incubating the eggs until they hatch.
I believe are called incubating birds, because they are incubating the eggs!
Incubating the eggs was necessary for their survival.
If she has definitely stopped sitting on the eggs, then throw them out.
Actually you can as long, as you don't handle them to long.
They look the same as normal eggs but the things inside are different.

Ostrich nests are not "made" out of anything. They are instead constructed by a male by the digging out a shallow pit in the dirt where the community's female ostriches then lay the eggs. The dominant female of the group may discard some of the other ostriches's eggs when it is her time to lay. They are used as a community base for the eggs with the females incubating them by day and the males incubating them by night.

None.
after incubating the eggs. the parent don't take any more part for the hatchlings.
You simply remove her eggs, keeping her from setting and incubating them.
