When a hen lays her eggs and starts to incubate them - I know she leaves the nest to feed but does she roost at dusk .

They usually stay on they nest once incubation starts in earnest, but ocasionally they'll go to roost.

She will not sit on it till she has all her eggs. Then once she starts to sit on them they will all hatch within a few hours of each other no matter when they were laid.
