I had 3 eggs under a broody hen... 1 disappeared over the weekend... The other 2 are promising. I had a few family members over yesterday who are more experienced with incubating. They said they could see the chicks. I'm pretty sure my lights aren't quite bright enough because I can't see veins, but I can see most everything else. These last two are quite apparent that there is something in both the eggs. But I'm not sure if one of them has a blood ring. They're both under a broody hen, not in an incubator, and I'm worried because I've heard of eggs exploding with blood rings. But I don't know for sure if it is a blood ring and I'm not sure if that egg could damage others or the hens.
Help... And no, I cannot get pictures right now, but I will try to get them tomorrow.

I would trust your family. The big dark is the chick.
