Were they her own eggs she dug up, moved and replaced on top...on purpose?

Seems unlikely to me. The moved eggs were probably harmed by the process if they were in an early stage of development, even if re-covered.

My guess is more along the lines of an instinctual response to the eggs and her not seeing them as other than her own.

But that is, of course, only supposition.

It didn't make sense to me that it was more than an accident/coincidence either because of turning the eggs.
