Two of my hens decided that they wanted to hatch eggs. One let everybody onto the nest and the eggs kept coming. So I remove those eggs daily. The other hen would let no-one on the nest and she was trying to hatch a golf ball, I decided she needed a reward for her effort and so gave her 3 eggs to hatch. She immediately let all the other hens into the nest so now I have to check daily to see that there are no new eggs in it. You just never know with chickens. What is really interesting is the fact that I can handle them when ever I like and get no bites or aggressive behaviour ever.
Chickens are the best animals to raise if you're looking for ease of effort and no stress. The rooster keeps them home and 'happy', and I keep the eggs. So far I've been selling out in the middle of the week and don't have any to sell on my corner that I was merchandising at every Sunday. Its like 'found' money.
For those of you still not sure about raising chickens, it's a daily thing so if you don't have a job that requires a lot of travel, I say go for it.
