JudyEggs need to be kept within a particular temperature range. As long as that is accomplished, they do not have to be covered all the time. A bird's body temperature is well over 100° F., and in a fairly short time they can warm the eggs to a point where they can live on their own for a period, depending on air temperature, wind, and other weather conditions.
The biggest danger to unattended eggs is from other birds, mammals, or reptiles that would eat the eggs.
