Is that how they always look? with 3 quarters of the egg cream and the rest white? or is that just the light coming through?

The eggs don't seem to be fertile to me. Happened to me last year with a pair not a single fertile egg and now this year they've had over 12 babies.

Don't look fertile to me...put one in water if it floats they are no good... if it sinks fertile, if memory serves me correctly :D :D

Make sure the water is body temperature then float the Egg , if it stays still its no good if it moves its good ,
