Sorry, that was me the first time...I reiterate:
I don't think you can easily predict which eggs are fertile until they hatch. There is a way to 'candle' them and look for signs of life but I was never able to do it. I kept my pair together and they hatched 3 chicks successfully after a year. There are often a couple that don't make it.
The trick is to make a nesting box for the female. Make a 12"X12" frame 4 inches high out of wood and set it on the ground in a corner. If you notice the hen laying on her side and digging with her feet, that's what she's trying to do; make a nest. Sometimes it helps to put some hay-about 2 inches-in the box. I usually collected any recent eggs laying around and put them in the nesting box once she set.
I was never able to get them to hatch using an incubator but that's just me. It's best to let the hen sit on the eggs. If she leaves the nest for an extended period of time she'll cover them with dirt or straw first.

How does your hen know the egg is fertile?
One view:She will set on them all at first, but if she doesn't feel heat coming from the egg which the growing embryo gives off, she will either throw it out of the nest or eat it. If you keep disturbing her to check, you will run the risk of upsetting her and she will leave the whole nest. Another view:She doesn't know. She will sit on infertile eggs as readily as on fertile ones. In fact, if she is in the mood, she'll sit on golf balls. Let her set on them for a week and then use a light to check to see if any thing is there.
