They probably just haven't emerged yet. If they are dead the bee's will clean them out.
chilled brood
I have supplied a weak hive with a frame of brood from a strong hive.
At inspection I have noticed that some of the bees emerged (there is much more bees), however, there is still quite many capped cells.
I hope the rest of the bees will emerge later, but what if the brood got chilled and they won't. Will the workers bees remove these dead brood?
Im asking because I dont want them bees to get any disease.

Chilled brood doesn't cause disease other than sometimes if it's only a little chilled it can cause chalkbrood. If they die they just get removed. But they will probably emerge.
