Broody hen dies, i find her 24hrs later ,temp outside about 50f, eggs appeared to be on day 17, i put them under a heat lamp but i didnt have the heat bulbs i used a regular bulb for another 24hrs, i bought an incubator yesterday, so far they have been in there for 2 days now, is there any hope for them or are they already dead?

Candle the eggs. You will see movement in the ones that are alive.

Like suggested candle the eggs and hope you can save them. If they are 17 days you should see clear movement.

They should be fine as long as the heat lamp/light didn't over heat them.

Oh, that sucks.
I've got my fingers crossed that some will survive.

Her eggs are very dark i can only see the air bubble and some veins around it

 

[chickens really]

Well if still alive you will see a flutter if you tap the shell. Or just keep waiting. My power was out 16 hours and all my eggs hatched with success.

I candled them, i didnt see any movement but i noticed that the air cell got bigger and the orange part of the egg is more visible

Its kinda late in the game to tell as the chick would have filled up most of the egg and not be as active as it was. So no movement doesnt mean their dead. I would say if you can still see veining theres a good chance they are alive because that will break down after they die. They are hardy lil buggers . I hope you have a good hatch and
Edit, they may be late because of the cool down by even a couple days.

This doesn't look too good.
