WARNING: NOT PRETTY PICTURE. Development stage question

[Dawnrenae]

We just found an extremely large nest under an even more GIANT pile of tumble weeds. No broody hen, and NO idea how long the eggs have been sitting. I candled the egg, it looked a little grown but stopped, so, I opened it. This is what we found.

Any idea how old this guy is? Or if it was dead or alive? No foul odors, no blackness, or green to indicate rot...?

Ahhh! BANG HEAD HERE...

I had a few shipped eggs that stopped at this stage. I was a bit shoocked, when I saw a black dot inside the eggs, come to find out it was the eye. However they stopped at that stage and never got any bigger then that.
