After around 7-10 into the incubation period, (research this to check), it is possible to do something called candling. Candling is where you shine a light into the egg and look at the embryo forming. If there is nothing and the egg is clear, then the egg is infertile. If there is an opaque object in the egg, this is an embryo. Be careful though, because if you candle early in the incubation period you might be unable to see the embryo yet and mistake it for an infertile egg! When you choose a candling torch, make sure it's not one that releases a lot of heat because this could damage the chick. Good Luck!
