I have problems translating this sentence. It does not make much sense to me, since the hen is not doing any hatching. Hatching is a natural process involving eggs and chickens.

That's a good point. I unlinked it from the Hebrew and linked "The hen's chicks are hatching" instead. A more literal translation of the Hebrew would be "The hen's eggs are splitting", but "The hen's chicks are hatching" is a more natural English sentence.

I'm not sure what should be done with the Berber and Japanese sentences, since I don't know either language.
