Hi,
If you look at the first pic you can see the slugs next to the fertile eggs.
The slugs are a lot smaller than fertile eggs, have a different look in terms of colour because they are not shelled, have no veins and, in this case, had already started to harden so felt differently too.
You can get normal looking eggs that are infertile and have no veins ( I had one in my last clutch I think ) but you also get eggs that have very few veins so you would normally put a normal sized and shelled egg in the incubator anyway even if it has no veins you can see.
You then chew your fingernails down to the elbow candling it every few days hoping veins develop.
If you look at eggs one and five they have very few veins visible and you could miss them on occasion.
I'm hoping the veins spread as they develop.
