Do Broody hens tell the other hens where to lay!?

I have a question! Do broody hens tell the other hens where to lay there eggs!?! Everytime i collect eggs since my one hen went broody they all lay there eggs in her box for her to sit on.

Then i dont know which eggs i can eat!?

Mark the eggs that you are allowing to develop (hatch) - when you gather eggs you take the unmarked eggs. If you are gathering daily there is no issue eating any unmarked egg as there will not be sufficient development to make the egg undesirable for eating purposes in such a short period of time.
