Hatching duck eggs?

There are some ducks that hang around the pond by my house. They have laid eggs a couple of times over the past few years but predators always get them before they can hatch. I found five more today and three have already been eaten leaving two left.
The ducks seem to have abandoned them. Any tips on how to hatch the remaining two eggs myself or is it even a viable option if they have been abandoned for a few days?

if its only been 2-3 days I would think there's still a chance. Go to your local feed store and buy an incubator. Then make a duck gravy

As kids we would load up the canoe and piroges with ducks eggs every spring. Then it was WAR. Big ole nasty organge yolk.

What type of ducks? If they are the bastard pond duck type with the mottled head and plumage....stomp the eggs.
Good luck on hatching them. I am not sure how you will feed/care for them. When you release them, they will be eaten in a day.
