Can you see if quail eggs are fertile?

My eggs came from a grocery store. It was more of an experiment. This is about as much as I thought I was going to get. After these eggs hatch I'm going to buy eggs from an actual quail breeder.
 
All my eggs I collect are fertile, so here is a few photos I just taken FYI.

Not easy to focus, had to manual focus my phones cam to take these. Hope it's clear enough.

Do. Note the lights reflection which is a shiny spot.. A pose to the white ring which is the sign of a fertile egg.

Generally after 3 days or so of incubation you will see red blood veins in the egg. If unfertile it will glow like a bulb when u candle em.

I know you guys are talking about the fertility of the eggs but I have a question kind of in the same line. How long does it take the eggs of quails to be fertile after introducing the males. I got 25 baby quail and I'm at 5 weeks old I separated the males and the females in two different pens. Now the females are laying eggs pretty good and I wanted to introduce a couple of male. Was just wondering how long I should wait before putting the eggs into the incubator.

I've heard of people waiting a couple of weeks after the hens first start laying so they can sort out their "egg factory" before incubating them for a better hatch rate, as for fertilization time with established laying hens, I actually don't know for sure but would think about a day or two since the eggs develop in about 24 hours so insemination should occur then? :O
