Currently my golden laced Wyandotte is broody, and for the past two or three days she has been keeping a lot of eggs under her and none of them escaped. I had taken them all away and left her with a ceramic egg so she wouldn't be over flowing with eggs.

But today we had an after shock from a earth quake and two eggs were outside of the coop, at first i didnt think much of it, especially since her nest was smushed by the heater i put back into the coop recently due to some colder weather.

But whilst i was putting evryone to bed i found a egg out of the coop again. Is she just sensing something wrong with it?

In all honesty i dont care if there is something wrong with it since none of my eggs will be allowed to hatch. Im just courious about whats happening.
Or im just over thinking everything
 
I think I remember reading that a hen will push a dud egg out of the nest, but I'm not sure. (I know that wasn't very helpful...:))
