Found abandoned duck eggs, help!

[Littleduckys]

I have these wood ducks who consistently come back every year to lay their eggs, this year the mothers eggs fell into a lake and she was gone from afternoon till around 10pm when I decided I was gonna go ahead and take them in as it was cold outside (50-60F degrees ). Out of 10 eggs 2 were alive. I’ve had them for about two days and am not sure how far along they are but they seem to be at different stages. One has a saddle air sac so it is hard to tell but the other seems around day 20-25. First 4 pics are of one egg and next 4 are of the other, just not sure if they are going to make it with out long they were in the cold for.

They are looking good. They seem to be on around day 18-22. I would candle them almost daily and watch for the air cell to dip so you can put them in lockdown.

Do u know if the saddle air sac will decrease chances of survival?

Most are able to hatch fine. Just keep an extra close watch on it.
