Well....in this case, all you're really interested in is maximizing the chance that the hatchlings will accept rodents, right? So you don't really need to separate them -- that would only be if you really wanted to perform a scientifically valid study. In this case, your goals are practical -- not scientific. So, if you wanted, you could go ahead and scent all the eggs. It might or might not work, but it would be an interesting thing to try!
If you do scent the eggs, just be very careful to monitor for bacterial or fungal growth. IMHO that's going to be your biggest risk with various scenting materials. And if you do try it, let us know how it goes!
