Hatching experts! Is this egg bad?

Is this bad?
I am not especially experienced with this. I usually let my hens hatch and I don't handle their eggs much after setting them.
I know that the air cell isn't in the blunt end. It is on Day 7.
Egg is from my backyard hens and was set on the day it was gathered.
If it is dead, or if it is not but isn't going to hatch, I'd prefer to remove it now.

Just looks pourous. Are you sure there's no air cell? It's harder to see through the pourous ones so you're probably just missing it. My girl just hatched one like that. Don't pull it yet.

Looks to be valid leave it is may need to assist if the peep cannot turn around to get out

Incubate until there's no debate, a piece of advice from a friend of mine. It doesn't look completely dead, so maybe just watch it for a few more days.

Thank you guys!
It is the only blue one I set. For some reason it is harder to see into than my darker eggs.

Blue eggs are usually tough. I think its still viable. I love Flocks of Fluff's saying!

Off topic but....The little gray ones in this picture came from blue eggs from the same hen.
They look lavender but they are from a bbs easter egger rooster and his daughter who is a really beautiful laced buff and blue. Hedging my bets, hatching another and hoping at least one will be a female.
