keep it or toss it?

Apparently the one egg I've had trouble candling is a black copper maran egg. I was gonna toss it, but now that I've read up on how hard they can be to candle, I'm hesitating. All I can see is the air space and a faint dark blob that moves slowly when the egg is turned... no movement, no obvious veins, no details of any sort- just a fuzzy dark blob. Is that normal? My gut is telling me "keep it" but lockdown is on Thursday and, while its not smelly now, I'm worried about it being a "bad egg" and potentially ruining the rest of the hatch.
 
well what I would do is poke a hole if it takes too long and see if their is black or not, then if no movement happens slowly peel the shell away until you find out what you have there.!
 
I would definitely not toss it. Most of my marans eggs looked like that and they hatched. I could only see the air cell. If it doesn't smell, keep it. Good luck!
