The 12 km eggs are also called Strange Eggs, and their aesthetics also give them the name Red Eggs. You can walk 12 km while having the Egg active to hatch it and obtain a Pokémon. 

When it comes to obtaining Pokémon from Eggs, the longer the distance it takes to hatch the Eggs, the rarer the Pokémon you get.
