Looks like there are roosters. Undiscovered eggs may just become more chickens.

True, but typically, fully domesticated hens only become broody once or twice a year (some never do). I would guess that this guy's birds become broody even less often, as sitting on a nest on the ground for three solid weeks is a dangerous proposition when living in the wild. Even if you do have guard dogs!

I suppose, when he finds a hen sitting on eggs, he brings her and the eggs into a coop of some type, so she can hatch her eggs safely. I sure would.
