It's been years since I took an embryology class so I can't explain WHY things look the way they do, and I'm not going to break these eggs open to get a better look. If you search the web for pics you can certainly find a lot, if that interests you.
When I go through all the eggs this weekend I will photograph an infertile egg and a dead egg (there are sure to be both) so you can see the difference.
Why is the egg reddish-orange? They just look that way when you shine a light through them! The infertiles are often more of a yellowish orange. Don't ask me why. :-) "That's just how it is."
