I should have written the date on the egg but didn't have a pencil at the time and then I lost track of the days. I started to see movement so assumed I was somewhere in the 7-10 day range. Today should be approx. day 13. I see the embryo but I'm not sure if it's moving. Sometimes I think I can see it move but idk if it's because I want it to be moving. Can someone tell me if this egg is a quitter? I hope these pics are clear enough

I’m not an expert but I would say that’s a quitter based on how no veins seem to be visible. If you have other eggs compare their movement and veins to that one, if there’s a significant difference, almost definitely a quitter. The embryo tends to swish around more than living ones when you move the egg as far as I know, too. Living embryos kick and move by themselves.
 
When you move the egg does the dark spot move with it.
If I gently but quickly turn the egg it looks like it will move with the yolk. If I turn it gently 360 degrees it will turn with the egg like it's attached to the side of the egg. I just don't see the dark spot moving like it was doing the backstroke like it was on day 10.
