Could they hatch?

I had a hen setting on eggs, she started setting on them Tuesday. On Thursday I saw her out drinking and eating, but went back into the nest. I found her dead in the pen on Saturday. I got the eggs and put them in an incubator.

What do you think the odds are of them hatching?

Do you know what happened to her? The eggs may very well develop to hatch. Candle in 3-4 days and see how things look.

Not sure what happened to her. I've lost 3 hens in 2 days time. Not sure whats going on. All 3 were healthy, eating, drinking, acting totally normal then I find them dead in the morning. No marks on them at all, 1 was laying daily, 1 not laying at all and 1 broody and setting on her nest. 3 different pens, no contact with each other. No other signs, just DRT (dead right there)
