I just candled my eggs (day 18) there was 15 or so that was not fertile,can I boil them and feed them to the chickens safely?Its a shame to waste them if they can

I do that, usually I take the infertile ones out of the incubator after 1 week. I crack them into a frying pan just to make sure they aren't rotten inside (never had one be rotten, but I'd rather play it safe) and scramble them up and feed them to the chickens. The yolks go all soft and runny after a week in the incubator, and I don't think I'd ever want to eat them myself, but it's never harmed my hens. Sometimes I'll throw a bunch of cracked corn in with the scramble. They love it!
