We got 40 chicks this spring and 3 ended up being roosters we don’t care and are keeping them one started to crow about 3 weeks ago and I think we are getting some fertilized eggs I plan on putting about 8 under her. Are these fertile. These spots have started to show up in the last week.

Those look like fertilized germination discs. I would stick a few under her and candle them after 10 days.

For how long before I give up? A week? What's the typical safe timeframe?

Really doesn't hurt them to be in the breaker for a week or two if that's what's needed. I have a hen that's become a serial broody, and doesn't break easily. So she goes broody, takes about 5-7 days to break, resumes laying in about 2 weeks, lays 3-5 eggs, and starts going broody again.
