Answer
Hi there,

I wouldn't be so certain that they will even hatch at this point. If they are not under a bird, or in a proper incubator and turned at the right times, they wont survive. If they do not hatch within 3 weeks, they are dead.

A good way to check is to shine a light through them. If they are dark, they they may well be alive. If they are not then they may well not be. See in a couple of weeks if they hatch.
