i candled one of my eggs at day 14 and there was not many veins and it is just black at the bottom I didn't see any movement should I throw it out?
 
Sometimes, you can't see movement. I would wait and candle again. The big dark blob could be a chick..candle again in a couple days and see if there is growth. The big, dark blob should be getting bigger and filling more of the egg. If not, toss it.
 
You should see veining by then, so probably, but I usually leave mine in for a few extra days away from the other eggs just to make sure there is no new development. I really don't want to throw out a viable embryo. Check if it smells, just lift it up and smell the egg. If it stinks, take it out and dispose of it, otherwise I'd watch it for 2 more days or so before throwing.
 
I would wait for a couple of days to see if there is any more development before throwing something like that out.
 
I mark the outline of the dark area of questionable eggs. Then candle them in a few days if no real change in size/ shape then i throw it.
