Instead of me wasting these grizzle feathered eggs, I'll like to try something with it, I'm planning to keep them warm and see if anyone if it can actually hatch. 4 days today, did candling and some have chicks already

Good job. But theres more to incubating eggs than just keeping them warm.(1) are you prepared to turn the eggs three to five times daily? (2)and Where is your heat source? (3)You need to maintain a steady 37-40 degrees celcius and 100 degrees f . You definately need a thermometre if you want to pull this off..and lastly,maybe its the yoke you saw. you wont see anything if you candle eggs at day 4. Chicks start forming at day 7.

Yes I turn them 3 times a ay, that's why I marked the eggs to know where I turn, I did not see any told sir, candling in the fourth day and I saw those red veins that look like cobwebs, though eggs have been layed more than a week ago, perhaps the place I kept them may be warm before I start incubating. I plan to get a thermometer in the future

.... I dont think those eggs are still ok. You will need to discard or eat them up. Cause Eggs kept for more than 7 days loses its fertility and wont hatch. So you need to make sure they are fresh eggs..
