Yes. The hen leaves the nest to eat, drink and defecate. Usually no more than a few minutes each day.
The hen usually prefers to remain very close to the nest and therefore it is often a good idea to provide a food and water source nearby.
The length of time an egg can sit in the nest varies among bird species, typically ranging from a few minutes to several hours. This brief period allows the parent to leave the nest temporarily to forage for food or take short breaks. After this time, the parent will return to continue incubating the egg.

It is usually the chicks that do hatch that deal with this problem, they will push the egg out of the nest.
snake is lays eggs in a nest build on trees
The Cowbird never has its own nest - it uses the finch nest as its host (read: parasite.) The Cowbird egg will hatch first & will push the other eggs or baby finches out of the nest. Other species of birds will get rid of the Cowbird eggs, but finches don't seem to. I always remove them when found.
Farmers used to leave one egg in the hen's nest to encourage her to have more eggs.
the mother bird will not come back to the nest, and will just leave the egg there.
The duck laid one egg and then left in the nest.
Nothing. It will probably sit on it for a while if you leave it in the nest. After a while it should give up. It may keep laying eggs and have several in the nest.
No. You should provide materials for a captive dove to construct a nest, however.
The black birds should leave the nest around two weeks.
If it is out of the nest, it probably isn't alive. If it is in the nest I hope you didn't touch it. Touching it will cause mama bird to leave it and it will die.
"An egg bank contains frozen donor eggs, used for reproduction. A nest egg is typically an accumulation of money used for retirement. Therefore an egg bank is not the same as a nest egg."
