Besides Parthenogenesis and Sperm retention you first must candle the eggs in a dark room with a flashlight. If you don't see evidence of blood vessels then you are looking at viable but unfertile eggs. This even happens to us breeders when we introduce males. You get a full term viable follicle that did everything right but there was no sperm able to reach it for fertilization. I would seriously doubt sperm retention and guess that these eggs are viable but unfertile. I have had parthenogenesis with an African Rock and fertility was low but there were several fertile eggs.

Hopefully I am wrong!
