hens, when nesting like to feel they are well hidden from preditors. They will nest in very tall grass or brush piles. If you have them in a penned area build them boxes with the entrances where it seems small to them and put in some hay

Like most flightless birds, hens too build their nest in a secret place away from predators like snakes. They build it mostly in small shrubs away from trees to prevent their eggs from snakes & to provide the chicks with worms & insects.

Dear friend, all female species of birds are called 'Hen'. I think you mean, the birds commonly known as 'fowl' or 'poultry'. They do not build nests. The eggs are laid in open.

They don't, they just find a spot to lay eggs, then hatch them.
