I think that the middle one could well be fertile, and depending on your temps needs at least another 15-20 days to be sure.
If the eggs had gone bad you would smell it:0)
The egg above is the one you are on about and to looks no good also I have left dud eggs in the incubator b4 and until you break them open they have smelt fine so I never go by smell alone.

Thanks Sandy and Gordon. I have no other eggs in there so will leave them in there a little longer. Nothing to lose but I'm not holding my breath. All three chalked over fairly quickly. But the outside eggs changed to this colour in the last couple of days.

When I first posted the pictures of them after a week, they looked fertile, I'm hoping it's nothing I've done that has killed them...
