Is the copper maran egg the second pic? If so, I can't see any veins which makes me question its fertility. But it may just have a thick shell. Can you see any movement when you candle the egg?

All I see is a very noticeable dark mass at the top of the egg and an obvious air sac. That’s it. With both of them but they are SO HARD to see anything in

Yes. I do see it move to the other side of the egg when turnedHmm.... it seems like you should be able to see at least some movement. When you turn the egg slowly can you still see yolk moving around the egg?
I’m gonna try again soon sometime today. I’ll be so upset if they aren’t. I already lost 6 to a snakeProbably an indication they're not fertile and the yolk is starting the process of going bad, but I'd leave them under the hens for now.
Yeah, that happened to me once with some show quality LF cochin eggs, a snake ate all but one. I was so frustrated.
