Can you make a chicken set?
Yes! You can get a chicken to start setting on eggs whether they are her eggs or another chickens or even if they are not chicken eggs. The best way to do this is to make the chicken feel the days have gotten longer, (anywhere from 15 t0 17 hours of daylight.) To do this put a soft light in their hen house and after about a week she begin brooding.
How many baby chicks can be hatched at one time from one hen?
They can have from 1 chick to 15 chicks in a brood.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. During those days, the heat of her body heats the eggs, allowing the embryo to form. 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.
How many eggs does a wild hen turkey lay?
Turkeys lay from early spring to early summer, a span of about 4 months. During that time the turkey will lay 12-18 eggs and then sit on them. If you collect their eggs they will continue to lay, eventually producing an average of 1 egg every 2 days for a possible total of 80-100 eggs. Most people who breed turkeys collect the eggs and hatch them to maximize the number of turkey poults produced.

You have 5 hen eggs in the nest when will she start sitting on them?
Hens typically start sitting on their eggs (incubating) when they have a complete clutch, which is usually around 12-15 eggs depending on the breed. If she starts to sit on the eggs before the clutch is complete, they may not all hatch at the same time. It's best to allow the hen to gather a full clutch before she starts incubating.

How does the hen eat or go to the bathroom while breeding?
Breeding takes 30 seconds, the hen will do all this before or after mating. If you mean brooding eggs, she will leave the nest for as long as it takes to defecate, seek food and water. This usually takes less than 15 minutes and the eggs will not cool sufficiently to harm the incubation process.
How many eggs does a chicken gather before she sets the nest?
It varies for each chicken. On average between 8 and 15 eggs will fit under a hen. Some hens go way overboard and gather 20 or more. I had a bantam Araucana try to hatch 23 at one time. She was not successful and only 5 directly under her made it to full hatch. There really is no set number, every brood hen makes that call as she collects. Many hens will not just use her own eggs, they will brood the eggs from any hen who lays in or near her nest.
