All my eggs (with the exception of a few) were fine. They were pretty dried and wrinkled when I put them in the incubator too. I nearly tossed them all out.
Get a small pen light, and (in a dark room) shine the light through the side of the egg. You should see some red veins, and perhaps even a red circular area near the surface of the egg. If they are not fertile, they will appear to be yellowish, with nothing inside. They can still be white on the outside, but when you shine a light through it, it will appear yellowish, with no veins.
Check it out. I do think dead eggs will still absorb water too, just by osmosis...
I hope they are fertile!
