Oh, dude, the hen lifted eggs because she wanted to work on her gains, you know, get those wings nice and toned. Plus, she was tired of sitting on them all day, like who wants to be stuck in one place for hours on end, right? So, she decided to mix things up and get some exercise while she was at it.
They sit in the hen house on eggs, on the roost or in a nest.
An individual hen will go"broody" and will gather a clutch of eggs to brood. These will not always be her own eggs. She will steal them from other hens by rolling them into the nest she has chosen. Unless the hen is broody she will lay her egg and leave the nest announcing loudly to the rest of the flock what she has accomplished. Hens can go broody whether there is a rooster in the flock or not, so no, not just fertile eggs trigger the brooding instinct.
The hen is likely broody, which means she is trying to hatch her eggs. She will sit on the nest to keep the eggs warm and may squawk to protect them. It is a natural behavior for hens to be protective of their eggs and offspring.
Hens are chickens.Hens are female chickens and lay eggs.Roosters are male chickens and do not lay eggs.So your answer is YES, you need a hen to lay eggs.
The difference is simply the animal inside. Hen eggs produce chickens if they are fertilized, and starfish eggs produce starfish. Also, starfish eggs do not have a hard shell - they are somewhat gelatinous.
Yes and what you can do to see if there is any eggs under the hen is you can take a stick and lightly lift the hen up and see if there is any eggs under her!
It can do what ever it wants
does it really matter ??
They sit in the hen house on eggs, on the roost or in a nest.
Yes. Move them at night and try to minimise noise and disturbance. Put the eggs into the new nest before putting the hen in and don't let the hen see you taking the eggs out of the old nest. There is always some risk she will stop sitting depending on disturbance levels and the personality of the individual hen but more often than not you can move them successfully.
Yes. they both do. But their eggs are very different. While the hen's eggs have a hard outside the frogs eggs are very soft. Also a hen doesn't lay nearly as many eggs as a frog. Also frogs eggs are in the water, while a hen lays them on land.
The hen will lay eggs either way, she will lay more if you have a rooster and the eggs will be fetilized
sit on the eggs
If you mean hen's eggs, unfertillised eggs are what are sold in your local supermarket. Fertillised hen's eggs you should be able to get from a local farm.
The answer to the riddle in "A riddle by Jonathan Swift" is "egg." Swift's riddle goes: "It is never his bolt that misses, / But he aims and shoots, and never kisses." The answer refers to an egg from a hen.
Remove the eggs. You can replace them with eggs you know are from another bird who was active with a rooster. Your broody hen won't care.
no but they would steal a hen.
