Not at first, but they become white eventually. When the eggs are first laid they're almost clear, but they soon develop a white calcium patch over the area where the embryo is. The white patch spreads over the next 7-10 days until it forms a solid ring around the outside of the egg. When the embryo is about half-developed (at 1.5 to 4 weeks, depending on species), fertilized eggs containing live embryos become completely white. If the embryo dies, the shell stops developing.
