What to do with chickens eggs until hen starts to sit on them?
My hens started laying eggs (I have roosters). With my first batch, I started out by refrigerating the eggs because I was going to eat them. Then I decided to hatch them so I gave them back to my hen. 3 hatched, 3 didn't. With my next batch, I'm wondering if I should refrigerate them until she lays 6 for her to sit on, or if I should leave them outside until all 6 eggs are laid and then she can sit on them.

Do not refrigerate. You may have inadvertently killed the ones that did not hatch by refrigerating them. Leave them where her nest is and when she lays enough eggs she will sit on them. They can be at outdoor temperatures without being sat upon and still be viable.
