some people grab an egg to there ear and slightly tap on the air cell, sometimes the chick taps back if its internally pipped, this is a good way to know if its alive and kicking during final stages. I've done this myself so can confirm.I don't have as much candling experience as some but I think number 2 is definitely dead. The others aren't looking real good either, number 1 might be in with a chance, it's hard for me to really say sorry. Give it another 2-3 days. If it doesn't work out that's okay, just try again. I've heard of people listening for a heartbeat in the egg using a stethoscope, thatll tell you if they are still alive or not straight away
