Are these dead eggs?

[AMoritz]

I need some help to determine if these are good eggs or what's going on here.
They are guinea eggs, and should be around day 22-25.
However the air cells look reaaaaaaally off. I didn't see movement in the first two eggs (I know that's not necessarily a tell tale sign the embryo didn't make it), but I did see some slight movement in egg #3.

Egg #1-pictures of air sac candled front and back and of air sac traced with a pencil

Egg #2 - again pictures of egg candled front and back

Egg #3 - pictures are from candelling, I did see some slight movement

They look alive. They are full!

Even with the really weird "empty" sections in the middle of them? Egg #3 isn't as bad as #1 and #2, but I've never seen that before...

 

[~cochinlover~]

That looks like the air sack.

Right, that's what I thought at first too, but in the pics from egg #1, I have the air sac penciled on the egg shell. The "empty space" is above the air sac where the embryo is... Unless the air sac extends on the inside that far up? What would cause this?

They do not look good to me. Looks like they developed pretty far but then quit. Were these shipped or local?

They're my eggs from my guineas.
I'm not sure on a hatch date because my chickens activated the guinea eggs at different times so I have 60eggs all staggered . I've been going off air sacs, movement, and how full the egg looks. #1 and #2 aren't good are they? Since I saw movement yesterday on #3 should I wait a couple days and see? Or should I just do an eggtopsy on all 3 eggs?

 

[AMoritz]

Well I just did an eggtopsy on 1 and 2 and this is what I found. #1 never internally pipped, looks fully developed, except the yolk isn't fully digested. And #2 looks like it quite sooner then that. Is that what you all think too? Or am I missing something somewhere? This is my first hatch so I'd like to learn as much as possible although I hated breaking into their shells

#1 is pics 1 and 2, #2 is last pic. Looking some more, does #2s head looked misshapened?

I would wait with number 3 if you see movement. I’ve had a surprise hatch once with a duck egg that I really thought looked bad. So I always keep them going if I see movement even if I think Hatching is slim. I looked at your pictures but guineas are one fowl that I’ve never hatched so I’m not familiar with exactly how they should look at hatch time.

Thank you, I did the water test on it yesterday and it floated the way it should so I'm leaving it for now. Guinea eggs hatch just like chickens, except they have a 28 day time frame like ducks. Otherwise position and stuff like that is the same.
