Hi guys,
Today one of my finch lay'd and egg on a perch it fell down and broke, and i noticed it had yolk inside, so my question is does infertile egg's have yolks inside also or are infertile eggs just empty shell's ?
Thank you for any anwsers

Not that I'm a finch expert but, yes, infertile eggs have yolks. Think of the chicken eggs you buy in the grocery store. 99.9% of those are infertile eggs.
You tell the difference by candling, but I'm no expert on that at all since I've never done it.
