The answer is "gums".
They sit in the hen house on eggs, on the roost or in a nest.
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.
The hen can take short periods off the nest and it will not hurt the brood. A period of over an hour or two may do damage to the brood.
A broody hen is easy to spot. The hen will remain on the nest when the other hens are going about their daily routine. The hen will often be aggressive when you reach in to remove her eggs. If you remove the hen from her clutch of eggs she will often run right back to the nest, protesting loudly. The broody hen will not roost with the other birds but remain on the nest over night.
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.
The analogy compares relationships: "teeth" belong to "hen" as "nest" belongs to "mare." Just as hens have teeth in a figurative sense (as in the term "hen's teeth," which are rare), mares (female horses) have "nests" in the form of their foals or the areas where they give birth. Therefore, "mare" is the answer because it completes the relationship in the same way.
The answer is "mare".The expression "as scarce as hen's teeth" means that it doesn't exist (because they don't). The original meaning of "mare's nest" is something illusory--or doesn't exist.In addition to the parallel meaning between the two expressions or idioms, there is also a parallel construction, with a possessive in each case: hen's teeth; mare's nest.This is important in an analogy question, which requires an exact parallel for the answer to be correct (A is to B as X is to Y).The parallel construction provides the test against which other "possible" answers to this analogy can be tried. There are plenty of things that don't exist, for example, but only one expression or idiom that shares with "hen's teeth" both meaning and the possessive construction.
