You can try candling the eggs. Take the eggs into a fully dark room and shine a small key chain flashlight or small fine point Mag-Lite into the eggs. If in the eggs you see veins and a round embryo they are fertile. also look for an overall pinkish glow to the eggs and not a yellow thick liquid inside. A bad egg is usually not as firm as a fertile one and when you shine the light inside, it will not look clear, but look kinda cloudy usually with a yellow cloudy glow insted of a light pink hue to it. If your not sure try to incubate them for a week or two and see if they go bad on ya. I don't have pics of bad eggs but here are a group of fertile ones.
