I would not throw it out yet, seems to have development, as long as it doesn't stink like it's gone bad it won't hurt to leave it in and see what happens. When we hatched our wellsummer eggs, we had to use an old slide projector to candle because the eggs are so dark, it's just about the only way you could candle them. Good luck, hope it hatches!!

Mine looks like that, but if I were you just leave it longer "Just in case" Mine did not live, but I did have a chicken inside.

Can you see any veins in there anywhere? By day 18 it should be quite a bit darker, and with a white egg veins should be easy to see around the edges. I think it's a dud.
Here's a pic of my duck eggs around day 21, they looked pretty close to this at 18 days.

It's a pretty bad picture, but there are veins and movement is pretty easy to see at that stage.
