I Have A Few Simple Chicken Questions!

Those are NOT fun to deal with. Especially when they decide your animals are a suitable breeding ground and decide to move in & raise their brood there... yuck. I hate dealing with those.

Chickens can most definetly eat table scraps, as long as they are not spoiled or rotten. Never feed your chickens something that you yourself would not eat. There's a treat list in the forum you can use that is very helpful.
A pullet is a chicken, actually a hen that is under a year old. Once they are a year old they are a hen. Same concept with Roosters; a cockeral is a rooster , or cock that is under a year of age.
To prevent getting rotten or spoiled eggs, always collect them the first day or two after they are laid. I believe about four days and then after that you really shouldn't eat them, or be cautious about them. But, again, I am not too positive with that one.
A few chickens can use one nesting box, so no, not every single chicken gets their own nesting box. I know that , most of the time, the eggs are in one box, so I guess they take turns lol.

I hope that was of some help to you ^^;
