Yes of course. Obviously make sure your hands are clean and be very gentle with the egg. Depending on the age of the embryo, you may need to rotate/turn the egg slowly in the early days to be able to see the embryo.
How do you know if they're alive or not cuz my sister has some darker eggs and its hard for us to see them and we don't want to throw them out if they're alive. They're about 7-8 days old.
Even with a thick shell, you should be able to see through the shell if you have a bright enough light/flashlight. Cut a 1" round hole in a cardboard box. Go somewhere very dark. Place the egg on the hole & shine the light through the egg from the inside of the box. It's important that you do this quickly as, if the egg is fertile, you must not let it cool down more than a degree or two. There is a lot of info on websites and youtube that show you the embryo on different days. Good luck.
