If they were shipped, it could be a loose air cell.  If they are from your yard, then Oceanseve is probably right on the money, you may just be seeing the yolk.  Depending on the color and shell thickness, it could be hard to see anything developing until the 4th-7th days, so don't panic yet.   It helped me a lot to look up videos and pictures of candling so I had a vauge idea what to look for.

 

Good Luck!
