Duck eggs lost their mom

[Awesomeducks]

HELP!!! One of my hens has been coming and going from the coop for almost a month. But today I decided to search around my yard to see if I could find her and instead I found a huge nest of eggs with her nowhere to be found. The nest looked like it had been dragged out like some predator dragged the hen away and there was some feathers and the eggs were kind of cold but none of them were broken. So I brought all of them inside and put them in an incubator. Is there any way they could survive? Also how do you incubate eggs?

What kind of incubator do you have? Can you candle them and post pictures and we can tell you if they are alive.

A little giant still air incubator. I have not candled them because there's like 30 of them. But if that's the best way to tell if their alive I guess I can do that.

Ok I just candled them and they all were unfertilized or dead. We could tell they were dead because when we moved the egg it was sloshy.

Sorry.
