Hi all

My broody sablepoot hatched some of her eggs today that I purchased for her from eBay. 4 hatched and still waiting on 2, she's doing great. My question is will she leave the other 2 if no good? She's still on the nest and not showing signs of leaving yet, I'm not concerned because just before her lockdown I put water and chick food with her so it was closer. But I'm really unsure on the answer, do chickens dispose of bad eggs?
 
She will probably stay on the nest anyways until the chicks are 3 days old, then she will get up and leave.
