Fertilized eggs are not brown because they have been fertilized. The chickens do not colour code the one's that are viable and leave the rest of them white. Any egg of whatever colour can be fertile. I have incubated white, brown, green and blue eggs many times. Most have hatched. The egg colour comes from the various breeds of chicken that laid the egg, it does not change colour for any reason unless you dye them at Easter.
