is this egg good or not?

Hi all find some pictures of my THB egg. It's first I've had and incubated so would like to know if Its fertile or not if you can possibly tell from this pic. We found egg last wed the 14th so its been incubated for 9 days although not sure how long it was in hutch for. I see a dark area at bottom of egg but no ring of life that I see on other peoples pics
Thanks

At 9 days it is still early for ring of life, does it look white

Hi thanks for replying, egg is white and was white when I found it. We can see a dark shadow at bottom of egg when we candle it but the rest looks empty and hollow. I'll leave it a few more days then have another look. No smell either

Bit early to be definite but don't think it's looking good I'm afraid
