I have a Black Rose Comb hen sitting on 6 eggs. She is at day 12.

I came home yesterday and 3 of the 6 eggs was out of the nest and they had been pecked and eaten. She was sitting on the 3 remaining eggs.

What would have made her eat 3 of the eggs?

And do you think she will hatch the other 3 or eat them later?
 
Most likely, they were bad. That's her way of getting rid of the bad eggs. THe other 3 will probably be fine.
 
I had one of my ducks recently do the same thing, they just know that they are supposed to get rid of the bad ones.
