Do roosters fighting each other spook hens and cause them not to lay on their henbox?

Every since my second rooster grew up and started fighting my first, my hens haven't been sitting on their eggs even though they are well fed

Welcome to the forums! To my knowledge, no, rooster fights won't startle hens off nests. If the chickens aren't a few generations old though, they will spook rather easily if you're too close to the chicken pen. It could also be that a fox is lurking somewhere nearby and trying to have himself a chicken dinner. A bear or wolf you'd easily notice, but a fox is small and thus harder to see, and will also flee if you get too close, which can make it harder to determine whether or not you've got one disturbing your chickens.

How weird. I did a once over of my area and theres no predators. They aren't spooked but they won't nest, even though they were a couple days ago. They have a rooster and their        weights are all good. Is there something I'm missing?

Nvm I'm just dumb, they needed more food.

Do rooster fights not end in rooster deaths anymore, or are you planning to eat one of them?

Or was it the More Animals mod that made my rooster die that one time I put it in a pen with another rooster?

Anyway, I'm glad you were able to figure it out!
