It's sometimes difficult to tell up until day 5 or 6. I look at how the yolk behaves.

As the egg starts development the yolk slows a bit when moving inside the egg.

It's not an exact science, but it may hint at your fertile eggs vs. infertile eggs.

Even if it doesn't look like it's doing anything, I tend to leave it until day seven just in case. My current batch has two large eggs and several smaller ones. At day 5 neither of the large eggs looked like they were doing anything compared to the others. I wasn't surprised, as they had need sitting around a while. Day 7, they have veining and a visible embryo. Always better to wait!
 
sorry about the pencil on the eggs. worried about the first one its day 8 ? are the others ok
