If they don't firm up within a couple of hours of being laid they are most likely infertile. My advise: incubate anyways, infertile eggs will smell/get moldy within a few days. You can also candle them, if you see red dots/veins then they are fertile, if not they are most likely duds.

not necessarily. i would still go ahead and incubate them. sometimes you never know, those soft eggs hatch out perfect babies, sometimes the egg dies but either way incubate it til you know for sure.
