How do baby chickens form inside an egg?

Can you get an egg inside an egg?

Does it hurt a chicken to lay an egg?
Egg laying may be painful for young chickens. It certainly appears to be, at the very least, uncomfortable for some of them.

Do chickens get sad when you take their eggs?

The rooster will initiate mating by exhibiting courtship behaviour: dropping one wing and dancing in a circle (the lowered wing will be on the inside of the circle dance). The hen will crouch (dip her head and body) to indicate receptiveness to the male.
Why is my rooster not mating with my hens?
