Hens protect their own eggs 

Hens, like many other birds, do indeed protect their eggs. Once a hen has laid a clutch of eggs, she will typically sit on them to keep them warm and to protect them from predators. This behavior is known as brooding. 

During the brooding period, the hen may become more aggressive and protective of her nest. She will often peck or chase away other animals, including other hens, that come too close to her eggs. This behavior is an instinctual response to protect her offspring and ensure their survival.

Additionally, hens are known to communicate with their chicks while still in the egg. They use a variety of sounds to keep in touch with their unhatched chicks and may even adjust their incubation behavior in response to the chicks' sounds.

It's important to note that not all hens will brood their eggs, and some breeds have been selectively bred to have less of a brooding instinct. However, in general, hens are protective of their eggs and will do what they can to keep them safe until they hatch.
