Definitely a darker spot than the rest of the egg, does that mean anything?

I only start to candle on day 7, so I dont really know

BELOW IS A PASTE FROM MY NOTES THROWN IN AN ARTICLE
https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101
AIR SACK CANDLING: Track the air sac with pencil tracings when you candle, @ 7, 14 & 18th days to make sure the air sac is growing at the right rate. I will refer to this site https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/491013/goose-incubation-hatching-guide-completed as a pictorial guide for candling. (NOTES: I purchased a candler from amazon for $13.00 plug in and works great when tried on a fridge egg)

CANDLE 7th day: Determine growth, weigh, pencil mark air cell size. Determine which are fertile.

The eggs remain in the incubator and the candler is positioned over the air cell (blunt end) to illuminate the contents of the egg. There should be a red 'dot' about the size of a match head with faint blood vessels surrounding it. Those eggs without any indications of fertility should be re-candled at 10 days and 14 days & thrown if they're infertile.

AGAIN, I will refer to https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/491013/goose-incubation-hatching-guide-completed & http://chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=73884.0 as a pictorial guide for candling. also this side for pics of BAD eggs, Progression Though Incubation https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/261876/chicks-are-here-egg-candling-pics-progression-though-incubation also https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/...-egg-candler-using-common-household-materials for more pic examples.

Well,its morning of day 3 and I candled a few to see if any change and I'm starting to get a little discouraged cause they seem the same as they did when I received them

Day 3 I think is still really early to see something. Dont be discouraged. Id wait till day 7 and you should see if anything is going on then. Most of what I have read is that people wont discard an egg until after day 10 or more. Good luck and keep us posted.

I've been reading about hatching shipped eggs and I guess that's why I'm a little worried, 7 were in travel for 3 days and 7 for 4
