You can candle the eggs but unless you have done it before, there is the risk you might disturb the egg to such an extent that you kill the embryos. Best to just curb your curiosity becuase either they are, or they are not fertile. In a few more weeks you will know because the eggs will begin to collaspe on a side if they are not fertile. Good luck!
