Are these eggs fertile or not fertile?

not developing and not fertile are two totally different things. The only way to tell if the eggs are in fact infertile is to crack it open and check for the spot. There is a sticky by speckledhen that shows the difference on the incubating and hatching forum.

You would be able to see veining if they were developing.

if they had chickies in them, there would be a larger dark mass with a visible air sac.

For being day 14 they seem like there's not much in there.
but I afraid of influencing you into thinking they are no good just based on a few photos.
let's hope folks will chime in some more with their opinions.

They are dudds.
At day 14 the shell should be nearly blacked out. They could have been fertile and died. When you toss then, look to see if there was anything in them.
But from the pics, they arent alive at day 14

I think I'll wait until the 21st day to crack them because I'm afraid that it might be developing even though I think it isn't.
