Most snails are hermaphrodites (not male or female, but both), and some can even fertilize their own eggs. It's probably safe to assume that if you see the snail eggs, they are fertilized, and will probably hatch in 1-2 weeks if left alone.

How do you know that a chicken egg is fertile without breaking it?

When its just fresh there's no telling. After the hen has been sitting on it or has been in an incubator you can tell be holding it against a bright light (you can see blood veins in the egg) or put it in water; a fertilized egg will float, and a non fertilized egg will sick. A spoiled/ rotten egg will float as well, but it will be quiet old when that happens.

How do you tell a fertilized egg from an unfertalized egg?

To see the difference between fertilized and unfertilized eggs we can use a certain methods. In poultry industry, this process called candling. Basically in this process, we put the eggs in front of a certain light, so we can see through. We can practice this at home by using a bright flash light in a dark room. After we see through, the unfertilized egg's yolk will be seen as a dark round thing. But in fertilized egg's yolk, there will be some red thread like coming out from the yolk. This method can't be done directly after the egg is being layed. Usually we do this candling process after the egg is being kept in the incubator for 72 hours. I hope this help
