Fertile or Unfertile??

[Danimg31]

Well I collected two eggs and the third egg I accidentally dropped (which is the one in the pics) and now she hasn't layed for two days so I'm not sure how good the incubating will go how long can u keep eggs before putting them in the incubator?? And how long do they stay fertile we lost our lil roo( which is y I decided to try and hatch some eggs) the same day I collected the first egg

I have read anywhere from 2-3 days up to 2 weeks they can stay fertile. I don't know but that's what I read. And as far as keeping the eggs usually 10 days but some people say up to 2 weeks just make sure you turn them 3 times a day until you put them in the bator (or keep them in a egg carton and go side to side( prop something under one side then switch) morning and night) if that makes sense I'm no expert by any means only on my first viable hatch (the first one was a bad hatch due to incubator issues) but so far so good with this hatch I have 33 that are viable and are moving

Ok so I decided to incubate and I have 6 eggs here's some pics
Egg 1 (one side)

Egg 2

Egg 3 (one side)

Egg 4

Egg 5 (one side)

Egg 6 (one side)

Egg 6 (opposite side)

I don't see any spider like veins or dominate black spot and the darker mass moves a little when I turn the egg. There are very nice airsacs on all of them. So my question is are any of these fertile?? And this is day 4.

I would wait. They say 5days but I wait 7 and then check.
