They will when they are ready to, or not.
Chicks will be old enough to thermoregulate, if egg still there, likely will get rolled to one side and ignored if not removed.
Kinderchick:
So glad to see the chicks nice & dry in the covered west nest box. Supposed to rain all weekend in Winnipeg. I wonder why the other egg is still there? ??? I thought the parents typically remove the unhatched eggs.

Not a clue, Beatrix was around but we didn't see her downtown and when I saw her during the day she was calm and totally untouched. Beatrix has been stapled to West Winnipeg since she came back into town, rarely did we not see her at/near the nestsite. So no, not Beatrix and not Joli either, she didn't arrive home for another 5 days. No Smiley either. At that time Beau and Beatrix were involved in serious hanky-panky in West Winnipeg and Hart and Princess were the only birds in town and they were both at the Radisson and he was courting her. No other birds on the cameras, no other unidentified birds seen around town either.

--- End quote ---
I use non-viable for both infertile and did not hatch for whatever reason - didn't develop, didn't develop enough, chick died in the egg, etc. Technically I believe eggs that don't hatch are either infertile or non-viable. Since we don't candle eggs and rarely get our hands on eggs (and don't make the specific effort to retrieve eggs) non-viable is for me the term I prefer because I don't know if they are technically infertile or non-viable. A bit like no news is good news - all the eggs are viable until the parent destroys it or flies it out of the box.
