Eggs coming inside from hen (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roe

This clue might be a double definition.

'eggs coming inside' is the first definition.
'roe' can be an answer for 'eggs' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'coming inside' bit.

'hen' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for roe that I've seen before include "A mass of fish-eggs" , "Swift runner" , "shy animal" , "Fish eggs; small deer" , "Part of fish, sounds like go through water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
