I'm not sure about the egg that was incubated upside down, but the eggs you posted pictures of are dead.

Yes, 100% dead. The second one looks like it's infertile and never started developing at all. A live egg will have veins, and at this stage in incubation clear movement too.
You can see in this (not my picture!) what a live, developing egg will look like.

I just cracked and examined all eggs every egg had an embryo in it one e beyond was the size of a penny th3 rest were about the size ranging from a gummy bear to a peanut still in its shell
