Yes, it is normal, although not ideal.

Did any of them look like one of these? Maybe half #1 and half #7? If so, there’s a chance it might be fertile. Shine a bright, cool light (like a flashlight beam) through it from various angles in a dark room. Do you see a network of red blood vessels? If so, good news.

Any that look like 5, 6 or 7 in the photo, I discard immediately. Anything that looks even vaguely good, I incubate. The worst that could happen is that it goes bad anyway.

Good luck with your eggs!
