Did this egg go bad?

This egg still had a ton of veins but it has this dark coloring going on and I'm pretty sure it's either dead or going to die. I haven't seen movement since yesterday. All of its siblings are in the process of internally pipping and this one is doing nothing. It doesn't smell. Just scared it's gonna explode.

If you saw movement yesterday, it isn't close to being rotten yet and I'd leave it in there another day. Sometimes I've seen a couple of mine do that and assumed it was a thinner shell. I read somewhere geese eggs always do that, but not sure as I don't raise geese.

It's not pipping either. I read it could mean it's malpositioned and that is where it was trying to break the shell. Ugh. I'll keep it in the incubator though.
