Signs of moth eggs hatching (1 Viewer)

Hi all,
I have a bunch of samia Cynthia moth eggs, and they've been in the airing cupboard for 5-6 days by now. On close inspection it looks as though 2 of the eggs are almost concave/dented in shape for some reason, is this a sign of the caterpillars hatching soon? Thanks
 
I'm afraid that sounds like they are infertile. They should stay 'pumped up' and should change colour when they are near to hatching.
