I have a broody hen that has been sitting on eggs for about 10 days. I went out and candled them and have no clue what I’m looking at, really. Does this look ok? I candled the other three and this had this most distinct dot. I guess it could have been positioning, etc. I’ll attach pics of two different eggs (excuse my husband the photographer).

I can't make out enough to tell.
The last pic looks like a dud.
 
I do believe there is a blood ring.
@JaeG I know that you do a lot of quail eggs, and wasn’t sure if you could help here.
I think it’s either a blood ring or the egg formed reallyyyyy weird to form some weird circle around the embryo. (Which I doubt) @black_cat
 
I *think* that I see some veining. Can you enhance the pic or anything?
Better? I can’t remember if I saw movement in this one or not. Maybe?
