okay, could you candle from the fat end of the egg, and see where the aircell is? then get a pencil and mark it on the shell. The first egg looks like it was never fertile to me, but i could be wrong. On day 18 you should see a significant aircell dip

If those are day 18, then no none of those are good.
Are you incubating or under a broody hen? If you are incubating under a broody hen other hens may have laid some extra eggs in her nest. The 2 eggs that shine red look like the could have an embryo day 7 to 9. But if it's in an incubator like I said, it would be dead.

X2. There would be significant movement and the egg would be almost all said by day 18. Imo I don't think any were fertile.
