I have a broody hen that lost the last batch due to another hen laying eggs in the same nest and one broke and got all over them. Since she was still broody, I let her claim some fresh eggs. This was a week ago. I checked today and another egg broke, probably the same reason as there are more eggs than she started with.

So, I have cleaned the eggs and moved them to a large dog crate. I have not checked to see if they are good. Should I check or chunk them and find her some babies to raise?
 
If there a week old you might try candleing them but if you have already given them back to her you could also just let her sit another week or so and see what they are doing then
