In the poultry industry, what is the term for an egg that was fertilized, but the embryo stopped developing at some point during incubation?

Determining whether an egg is a "yolker," fertilized, or a quitter is usually done through a process called "candling," in which a light is put up against the egg to be able to see into it. When you know if you have a yolker or a quitter, experts says it's important to remove it from the incubator.
