They do not normally do this. Chickens cannot pick an egg up and move it. They will roll eggs out of a nest and they will roll them into the nest if they find one close by in the hay or bedding.
No, Bantam roosters do not take care of eggs, his job is to fertilize those eggs, guard the chickens from predators, and crow.
Hens typically prefer to have their own nest to lay eggs in, as sharing a nest can lead to competition and aggression. Providing each hen with its own nest box can help reduce stress and ensure that each hen has a safe and comfortable place to lay eggs.
What is the pronoun for the chickens lay lots of eggs
NO, they are only equipped to fertilize them.
Yes actually they do, I have owned chickens since i was 10 years old and everyday i gather eggs and have to wash them off,it also may depend on if the chickens roost in on or around their laying boxes if the laying box has a top than they probably wont poop on the eggs but most chickens will end up roosting ON TOP of the laying boxes and poop on the eggs while they sleep, just because you provide a roost away from the laying boxes doesn't mean they will sleep on itmy chickens have a roost away from the laying boxes but getting them to sleep there is impossible.If they have found an outdoor nest to lay eggs the answer is NO, the chicken will not poop in the nest or around it as long as their roost is not above the nest.Another answer: Chicken may well lay eggs in the same locations that they also 'poop' in but they don't lay eggs from the same bodily orifice from which they have a 'poop' which appears to be what the question is asking.
In a nest.
in the chickens nest
Yes, chickens will often eat eggs that get broken in the nest. Additionally, they will eat leftover eggs that are included in food scraps.
Chickens live in a coop, which is like a small house for chickens with nest boxes for them to lay eggs in and perches for them to sleep on.
Food. Chickens will lay eggs even without a rooster around. Non fertile eggs are abandoned in the nest in which they are laid. Eggs can stay there until the hen decides to either find a new nest, a predator finds the nest or she rolls them out of the nest.

Yes, and one nest will usually be more than enough for two hens. Two or more chickens will often lay in the same nest if it is a 'favorite', or if there simply aren't enough good, clean, or (in their opinion) 'safe' nests.
Technically, chickens don't even need hay to lay their eggs. Once they are old enough, around 20 weeks old, they will start laying eggs anywhere they can lay down and nest down in. But it is nice to have a 12 inch by 12 inch box filled with a layer of hay for the chickens to nest in.
coop. You can put the eggs in an incubator (to incubate them) until they hatch.
