Is this egg fertile?

[greenfamilyfarms]

As some of you know, I have 4 dozen silkie eggs in the incubator. I candled them last night and I had maybe 5 that are developing. The rest were clear and I had a few bloodrings and 2 broken air cells and yolks. I took a random sampling of 6 eggs that were labeled differently by the breeder as to which pen they came from and cracked them open. Two of them had bloodrings, but the other 4 looked like this:

Now, if I remember correctly, this egg does NOT look fertile. I would like to get a second (and third... and fourth....) opinion on this before I contact the seller.
