A hen goes broody, which means she wants babies and will collect / sit on eggs. The eggs MUST be fertilized by the rooster to have baby chickens. The hen will sit on the eggs for average 21 days.

Right before hatching, the embryo will suck the yolk into it's belly, so that when it is born it doesn't have to eat for up to 2 days. The chick hatches, and the mother hen takes care of it.
