Generally if your egg is turning green/blue your embryo is dead. Eggs have a natural immune system as long as the embryo is alive, when the embryo dies the egg starts to die and mold as well. That is why, generally, other good eggs are not effected by one egg going bad. They are still alive and the immune system is still intact. Its always nice to try to seperate it if youd like and put it somewhere else to see if it will hatch but chances are it wont. Now mold/fuzz growing on top is different you can wipe that off and do other things but if your egg is turning colors its safe to say theres nothing living in there anymore.
