Hatch date 5/13/13 some not hatched?

I have eggs in inucbator hatch date was 5/13/13 some have not hatched, they are dark when candled. How long before they are a dud? I am new to this and just keep eye on temp and did as insurtations said for the inucbator.

Is there any movement inside the unhatched eggs? Is there any noise coming from the unhatched eggs? Wait till day 25 to discard any unhatched eggs.

I agree with A Chick Owner (brilliant name by the way!) check if there is any movement, don't be too hasty with discarding them, some chicks will like to absorb the yolk before even peeping so this could be the case besides hatching is a tiring job keep us updated
