Crow hatches the eggs of a bird called "quail" who lays eggs in the nest of the crow.
Domestic hen hatches the eggs of any other bird you put under her; say pigeons eggs, ducks eggs, etc.

Cuckoos lay eggs in other birds' nests and hatch them. Are you sure that wasn't the question maybe?

I think you got it a bit mixed up..a cuckoo doesnt hatch eggs of other birds...but lets his eggs get hatched by other birds!
So other (usuall smaller) birds hatch cuckoo eggs.

assuming it's a wild bird you are asking about, it would be called 'fool'. hatching a species other than your own is a failure to advance your own species, giving favored treatment to competitors.
