Candling day 4 eggs and embryos seem stuck?

[ElfenLied89]

I was candling a few eggs on the first batch of 12 to check on them, and noticed some didn't move much at all when I gently turned them around, some moved slowly, and some didn't move at all. Mind you I only candled 4 eggs out of the dozen to get a general idea of what was going on.

If you have seen my previous post, this was posted there as well but no responses. Wanted to do a fresh post in case no one has been checking the updates. Pics of the eggs are on my phone currently (am on PC), but my other post about incubating eggs has the pictures as well.

Advice? What do y'all think?

Some will do that. I've seen some look like they were swimming around in there and some just barely move. It doesn't mean anything's wrong. For ones where you see absolutely no movement at all, I put a question mark on those so the next time I candle, I know which one or ones might be quitters. I never ever toss one unless I'm absolutely sure it was a quitter. These were shipped eggs I know so you'll have some never get going at all.
