Is this egg a goner?

Sorry for all of the questions😂 I had 7 eggs I was incubating. 5 of 7 have hatched and are doing great. They hatched between 36 and 6 hours ago (first pips appeared 48 hrs ago). 2 of my eggs have no pips or anything. I candled one of them when I took the babies out of the incubator. I didn’t see movement, but I could see a lot of blood vessels. The other egg is green/blue and I can’t really see through it well. Do you these babies are gone? I considered making a safety hole just in case, but I don’t know. I can leave the remaining 2 in the incubator and see what happens. What do you think the odds are? Today is day 23.

They look like late quitters. I would slowly start opening up the air cell as though you were assisting and go as though you might if they are alive. Open just in the air cell with tweezers or something, and remove enough shell that you can see if they're alive or not. They probably aren't alive anymore, there's not much you could've done so don't feel bad. Congrats on getting 5 out of 7, that's really good.
 
I opened them. One was totally ready, but malpositioned in the egg. So sad! The other had stopped. Looks like probably around day 16ish?!?

Sorry they didn't make it. I think you're right, it looks like a later quitter. On a side note, what breeds did you hatch? Incubating and watching the litype babies grow and hatch is fascinating, and I find it rather addicting, lol
