Hi Amber:

You might check with a waterfowl or rehabilitation center, but we would be very doubtful that anyone would want the eggs. Also, it is extremely difficult to incubate with the correct humidity, turnage and temperature, so once the mother was removed from the nest, the end for the eggs was determined at that time. If the eggs were left unattended for any significant amount of time, they probably died from the heat and not humidity from the mother's body. The Regal Swan
