Hi
Please see below pictures of my 3 Hermann tortie eggs laid on 22nd feb, my first batch were not fertile but this is my second batch!!
They are kept in an incubator and 32c 71% humidity, by my reckoning they are due in the next 1/2 weeks
i think that egg 3 looks promising but not sure about eggs 1 and 2..... what do you think?

egg 1

egg 2

egg 3

Your right egg 3 definitely has a baby. The others look infertile to me too. But even getting one baby is totally worth it

Kind of tough to tell but the last egg is severely dehydrated. There is something in it but it could be just yolk... that said... I did have an Egyptian that lost 2/3 mass of the egg and hatched... I think it was 8 or so grams.

The others do not look fertile from the photos shown... but you can guess how that goes.
