I asked before but I will ask again, How do you know your eggs are fertile?

I have the same question. Don't mistake the white spot on the yolk for fertile eggs - fertile would be a bullseye - white dot, yellow ring (yolk), white ring.

If you had a roo, at 4 months you'd know.
 
I have some crosses that the roosters look similar to that. The hens also look similar. Look for neck feathers that are narrow and highly shiny. Also look for spur buds, although I have a hen with spurs too, it isn't very common. Hens will also tend to have fluffier back feathers just before the tail and rounder kinder eyes.

Roosters and some hens have spurs, but all chickens have spur buds. You cannot sex a chicken by spur buds.
The red and white chicken (first pic) appears to be a red sexlink, and the males of that hybrid looks completely different from the females
