Charmedagain, I would take the eggs, wrapped up and warm to your avian vet to have looked at. That way they can tell you whether or not it is o.k. to keep it with your mother bird. If it is bacterial, the sooner you get them away from your birds the better, if it's not and they're just fertile, no harm done you can just put them back in the nest when you get home. Of course while you are gone I would leave substitute eggs about the same size, shape, and color in the nest so the mother hen can continue to exhibit the proper behaviors.
