Have 2 hens that have gone broody and are setting their own eggs. They have switched nests and the other day it looked like one had kicked out 3 eggs. I put them back under, wasn't sure if they will discard any unfertilized or if they had just rolled out? Think I'm just going to let nature take it's course and leave them be and see how they do in with the rest of the flock.
 
I hear lots of people say hens will kick out rotten eggs, but I have never found this to be the case. Make sure the nest can hold all the eggs well, so they don't fall out when she is turning them or shifting on the nest.

Best of luck!
