I understand. It would be different if you had a hen house full of hens, and supplying you with eggs is their job. The few eggs she will be supplying won't make much difference, unless they are particularly tasty.
On the other hand, one way to use them (If you don't want to waste them) is to use them in something like a cake, pancakes, or other baked good where you can't tell they are there.
But, as mentioned before, if they are not fertile, they're not really her chicks. Eating them isn't much different than using her droppings in the garden to grow veggies.
Besides, you feed her and give her a home. Everyone should pull their weight and help out. That could be her contibution.
