hi i have a few egg that i cant see though but i can see a air cell there been in the incubator 4 a week now and im just wondering if thay are fertile ?
 
4 weeks? As in 28 days?

The OP said they'd been in the incubator "for a week", translated from chatspeak.

Air cell doesn't mean fertility. It just means there was moisture loss from the egg. This is a normal part of egg development, they need to lose a certain amount. What you are looking for is signs of development. Veins should be visible now, bright red veins. You can also see a little embryo too, but sometimes it isn't very visible. The veins encircle the inside shell of the egg, though, and can very easily be seen.
