I am no expert but the mother hen can hear what is going on in the eggs once they get just so far along and if she didn't hear anything, maybe she kicked it out to allow the rest to have a better shot at it. Hope the rest do well clucky

I know, but...I'll just see what happens with the other eggs. (Two)

Yeah, that was what i was thinking, a good broody can sense dud eggs, and will SOMETIMES kick them out.
