Bad eggs generally go a solid white and can have a fuzz over them. Good eggs go a creamy beige depending on the cory and certainly develop dark dots or solid in side. The hatching period depends as to the temp you have them and can take anyway from a couple of days to around 8-10 (though this is unusual). If you suspect any eggs not being fertilised move them elsewhere and attempt to hatch separately at first as at least this will stop a fungus spreading if it is a bad egg.Best of luck with them.

Here are the only pics I have:
Freshly laid, quite clear

These were no good they went a solid opaque white, there are a couple that are lighter but the whole batch went bad

EDIT: Forgot to take pics of developing eggs, will ensure to do this in future
