Electric Blue or Marbled blue crayfish??? Am I about to be a grandma

So I’ve had miss Bono here since September. I know if she’s an electric blue female there’s no chance of these eggs being fertile. I’ve been looking up the differences between marbled and electrics all day though and she’s not super marbley but she’s also not even at all in color pattern. I never questioned her being an electric blue female until I watched her spend days nesting and then pop out with all these eggs. She’s clutching them very tightly and being very protective over them. I know she would do that even if they are infertile it’s only been 24 hours since they appeared. Any guesses or help on how to tell definitively what species she is so I can start preparing for hundreds of new children if that is the case?
