Hi there. It's not the colour of the eggs that tells you if they will hatch. You must candle the eggs with a torch to see. Here is a link to tell you how to do it. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/1958/eggs.html

 

also try not to be hasty and discard any eggs that may not look fertile as another member had babies hatch from eggs he thought were no good. Cheers karen

the last time i candled eggs 3 were fertile but after i moved them she rejected them do you think it will happen again if i candled them

Could have been a personality trait of the bird, taking the eggs away for too long, or even a transferance of something from your hands that she detected ( ie. a scent or something ). Hard to know.
