You have not said how many chickens you have altogether. Chickens die for many reasons and not always from communicable disease. Poor nutrition, illness and predation.
A hen being pecked by the others weakens them and then all they need is a minor illness to weaken them even more. Generally, I would say if the rest of the birds are acting normal and healthy then you would not have a problem eating the eggs. If they are all acting sick, then you may want to leave off consuming the eggs until you figure out why they are ill.
