I was thinking of something just along those lines, giving the eggs a blessing according to my beliefs and then finding a special place to bury them.

Exactly my thoughts. Part of why I'm freaking out. I don't want to bring more roos into the world if I don't know of a good home for them.

This one hen is ALWAYS trying to go broody on eggs, but since I take them daily, I've never worried about it. I just take them gently and she waits for more, and we do this daily.
I think I need to take the eggs. I hate to do this, but hopefully with a proper blessing/burial, I can take comfort knowing I did the best I could. Hatching chicks that could ultimately be roosters would put those roos in the potential line of death in the future if put in the wrong hands, and they would definitely be sentient at that time, so doing this now may be better.
Thanks by the way for respecting my beliefs. I know a lot of chicken people think I'm crazy, but I take my vows of "doing no harm" seriously, even though I understand that most people think it's a bit 'out there'.
