Was those hens laying eggs vs Was those hen's laying eggs

Both phrases are incorrect. The correct phrasing should be "Were those hens laying eggs?". The subject "hens" is plural, so the correct form of the verb "to be" is "were". Additionally, the possessive form of "hen" should be used as "hen's" indicates possession, which is not the intended meaning in this context.
