Do love birds eat their young?

I have a pair of love birds. The A/c blows extremely cold in their room so I put a nest box in the cage, they apparently think it’s a stab-in cabin, b/c there are four or five eggs I noticed a month ago, I checked last night in the box with a flashlight and it looks like one egg is cracked and another has a quarter inch hole in it, but I don’t see any babies?? I kind of concerned any advice?? Would really appreciate some educated opinions, from experienced bird lovers, list source if not too much inconvenience. Thank you
Thank you “Miki” for taking the time to answer my question.

I’d like to explain a little further into the temp. I made it sound like an arctic zone in their room, but the coldest it gets in there is probably 68degrees, big two level apt. 7-10 degrees warmer in other rooms at times. Made that their room b/c good windows and I understand that sunlight and cuttlebones are a good source of calcium for the little fellows. What would be an Ideal temp. for their young to hatch.?
