I've candled my eggs, this is day 9. There are some with lumps in them but no spider veins, some with veins and a black sopt in the middle, and some that I can see just a yellow yolk in, and finally, some that are completely clear. What is good and what is bad? I know the clear ones are bad. Right?

The clear ones are not fertile.

I keep all others ( as long as I have room) at least until day 14.

there is a post in here somewhere that has pictures of candled eggs, that is great to use, I could not find it, but I know it is here.

It is also a good idea to keep them all, and learn from them- you can write on the egg what you think from candeling on day 9 and then next time you candle you can write what you think then- etc....

Then crack them open (outside), so you will know what you saw.

Honestly, I keep all eggs in my bator unless/until they start stinking or I need the room. A full bator is a stable bator

Plus, it is a good idea to wait to at least day 14 before tossing any eggs, just to be safe
 
I always like to toss any clear/non fertile eggs, always makes me feel better that I know they wont cause any mess in the bator. All others I usally keep till day 12-14.
