They are somewhat protective if they are just laying the egg, and will cackle to draw attention to themselves and away from the nest when they leave it, but after that, they are usually non-committal. However, if the hen is broody and is sitting in the nest to hatch the eggs she is much more protective.
If two hens lay two eggs in two days how many eggs will ten hens lay in ten days?
Chickens lay one egg every 28 hours (on average), so to get an average of two eggs per day you would need two hens. However, if you want to be assured of at least two eggs a day, you should probably have three hens. Also, when hens go through a molt and swap out their feathers, they stop laying eggs until their feathers have grown back in.
Will two different hens lay their eggs in the same place?
Most hens have a preference as to where they lay their eggs. If a broody hen takes over the communal nest then the other hens will find a new spot to lay. It is always a good idea in a small flock to provide alternate nesting boxes just for this reason. When one hen goes broody, the other hens do not go off laying. If you are missing eggs, it is quite likely that the brood hen is taking what she can find to her own clutch.

Chicken rooster that breeds hen has spurs and now is laying eggs?
Firstly, the bird will either be a hen or a rooster, just to clarify ;) Hens can have spurs, it is 'rare' however. Also, when you do not have a rooster in with a flock of hens, one hen will assume the dominant role of flock protector, or alpha hen. This means that her comb will grow larger and more red, and she might even begin to mount the other hens and/or crow. This does not mean she is a rooster, but she is simply filling in his place.
How long will a broody hen sit on eggs?

One hen went broody and the other hens stopped laying why?
it could be that your hen is getting old and or is sick keep an eye on it and if she or he gets worse take to the vet. Another Possibility Hens like to lay in certain nests. If you have a small flock chances are they all lay eggs in the same nest. With the now broody hen occupying the nest and possibly being aggressive toward the other hens, they will need a new "favourite" nest to go to.

Does it hurt a hen to lay an egg?
No. Most hens just walk away from the eggs they lay anyway. A broody hen who is instinctively tuned into hatching hers (and any other hens eggs she can steal) will get cranky about the loss of eggs but there is no sadness involved.
