My eggs (or some of them) are 4 days old and should be ready to hatch by now, Right?

Age != Maturity. Age is based on just a timestamp whereas maturity is the passing of hours in Sylestia time.
Usually when we take the Site offline, we pause Sylestia time. This has the effect of pets not growing up when you'd expect them to.

An easy way to tell when your eggs will hatch is their progress bar.
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=1560100
It's the first part of the Genetics Table, and it goes from 0/72 to 72/72 when they are ready to hatch.
72 marks the 'hours' of progression, and 5 natures will add an hour of progress. but as Krinadon mentioned that progress is halted whenever the site goes offline. Usually it would take 3 days, but with the maintenance the eggs are a bit behind.
The hours are also marked on the turn of the hour (3:00, 4:00, 5:00, and so on) so if you keep an eye on their progress bar, you can know exactly what time they'll be ready to hatch. (Unless it gets to 5 nurtures, in which case it will be an hour sooner.)
Hope the additional information is helpful! :D

the hour is past what it would be for hatching and does it keep going like saying it's four days but when you paused the day it was still going?

Every hour on the hour, a script runs on the server that increments all pets' maturity values. Maturity is what determines whether it's an Eggling, Hatchling, Adolescent, or Adult.
During downtime, this script is paused and doesn't run. So in essence, pets are 'frozen' until the script resumes (when the Site comes back up).
The "Age" that you're looking at just simply figures out the amount of real-world time that has passed since the pet was created.
