What you do with those dead eggs from Incubator?

I toss them in the woods. I've also thrown them in the trash or sink (depending on the stage) if I've done an eggtopsy. I don't give them to the chickens because they're truly nasty by the time I pull them.

I haven't found that giving chickens eggs leads to egg eating. I do crack them first, though.
 
While a chicken won't start egg-eating if they have sufficient protein and clean water, I would never feed incubated eggs to my birds. Recipe for disaster, they could be full of bacteria. Mine either go in the trash or get a long chuck out into the field.
I guess, instead of a woodchuck, you are an egg-chuck.
 
I open them by the woodline then let critters do the rest.. definitely wouldnt give a “dead” or rotton egg to my chickens. Just gross. But sometimes i let them eat super dirty eggs i dont feel like cleaning... theyre not quite smart enough to figure out how to open them, i do it for them. But i know there are hens who figure it out ;)
 
I dug a hole at the edge of the woods near my place, cracked every one of them to see when/why they didn’t seem to make it. Broke my heart because most died in late stages, poor little babies killed by my inexperience with incubating mostly. Then I covered them up. I didn’t want the ravens or raccoons getting them. I bury our dead layers too if I am given the opportunity.

Why didn't you want the raccoons getting them?
They are already dead, I mean, I understand it for a full pet chicken, but for a embryo?
