I would definitely not feed them back to the flock. Incubator is prime environment to grow all kinds of bacteria and such that could make you birds sick. I usually throw mine in the trash.

Encouraging egg eating is never a good idea. I used to save them as Halloween 'weapons'.
Grass, quite simply.What is outside of your window?
I guess, instead of a woodchuck, you are an egg-chuck.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.
Why didn't you want the raccoons getting them?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.
