With a good strong LED mini flashlight, you should be able to see movement at 15 days, if you candle in a pitch dark room. The clears are likely infertile.

Well, you've hatched more birds than I had when I accidentally ended up with my first batch of pea eggs

Looks like you did well last time

those are pretty birds on your shoulder!

Keep us posted, and welcome to the Pea group -- it's a nice place here with lots of helpful Pea-people

5 out of 6 is pretty good, congrats! They can hatch at 26 -30 days, depends on a variety of factors. A little hotter than the ideal and they will develop a little quicker, a bit cooler will slow them a bit. Quit turning at day 24 or so and raise your humidity as high as you can 75% is great. Don't be afraid to help a little, they tend to have more difficulty getting out than chicken chicks and I don't hesitate to help. I have many strong healthy birds that needed a little help unzipping. Keep us updated, and go back to our threads from May, June & July you'll see lots of hatching stories!
