Hey, I just listened to this again in the 'Top Scientific Moments of 2015'. You say 'when a mother hen sits on her eggs .... with these eggs pointing upright, it distributes her weight all around'.
The eggs in a hen's nest, or any bird's nest really, don't usually point upwards. They lie on their sides.
