Im guessing your talking about infertile eggs?

Infertile eggs usually arent as plump or full as fertile eggs. And when you candle them they will glow yellow and fertile eggs glow red, and when they get older there will be a lot of red veins in them.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. Yes, Infertile eggs is what I meant. Thank you again. Our 24 eggs were laid by a rescue 6 days ago, we have had her and three males for 3 weeks. She had been separated from the male but I don’t know for how long. I understand about holding the sperm, and do know she has been successfully bred in the past, how long ago I don’t know.
I candled a couple of the eggs being careful not to disturb their position and found a yellowish background with a beautiful red vein type swirl. That is good news I think and we are very happy. Anything further?? As you can tell we are new to bearded dragons, but not to reptiles, and certainly not pets. We have the love, time, and resources to care for them or we would not have taken them in. thanks, kt

Your welcome!
And by the sound of it they are fertile and the red vein should keep growing and cover the eggs before you notice a little baby in there.

It is amazing to watch them grow in the eggs! When they get bigger you will be able to see them moving in the eggs! That was my favorite to watch when i bred mine.
