It’s so fun to watch the mama care for the chicks! I hope you have a chance to experience that at some point!

Is it fertalised? Is it to early to tell,?

Not sure. I’m sure some experts will chime in. I just put eggs that I know are from hens I’ve seen mated underneath my broody and hope for a hatch. Hens continue to lay fertile eggs up to two weeks after being mated, so if you’ve seen her mated within the past few days you should be good.

If they're being incubated, it is likely too early to tell. Not sure what the black spots are.
I usually don't candle till day 7.
If you open one of your eggs and compare the yolk to see if it has a blastoderm or blastodisc. That will tell you if that egg is fertile. The rest would likely be fertile as well.

That’s alright. It doesn’t really matter if you’re just hatching them as pets. Enjoy the chicks!
