So I let the dog out and I noticed some white things in the back yard. It turns out there were about 8 eggs that fell from a tree. All but two are cracked opened. One tiny bird feel that hatched already I think.

There are two eggs that somehow survived.

Any posters have experience for trying to hatch the remaining two eggs?

I think they are from a hawk because I have noticed this hawk over last week always being around in this tree.

I don't think Hawks have broods of 8. But I really don't know

Gonna be pretty funny when you hatch two wide eyed and bushy tailed buzzard chicks.

That hawk might have been around trying to poach those eggs... Don't think they lay that many at once

This! And he is probably the one responsible for them being on the ground.

They don't. The most I've ever seen is 4 (red-shouldered).

I seriously doubt a crow will lay 8 eggs either, just too big. (Internet says 2-6).

Just guesses from the photo - starling, grackle, cowbird, blackbird, european swallow.
