Since those eggs aren't hurting anyone, leave them be. Once the babies are no longer being sat on by mom, you can remove them. This usually happens around the 2-3 week old mark. They actually serve a purpose for the younger babies, by supporting them and creating enough space that tiny babies don't get suffocated by their larger siblings.

If the unhatched eggs do crack or break, you will need to remove them then. The fluid inside will leak out and can cause illness or bacteria growth.

As long as the unhatched eggies are fine, they will add support as Kimmie says.
