If your going to throw them away, why not let her sit on them and see how she does? I had a cock die while the pair had eggs, they hatched and mother took care of the youngsters. I'll tell something else you may not believe, she laid again. Of course the eggs aren't fertile, but I'm going to let her sit them just to see how long she will. Good luck.

I've seen it go both ways! Last year I had an extra hen and she laid 2 eggs. She set them till they hatched and raised 2 healthy babies all by herself. I think its probably rare, but it happens!
