First of all candle them to see if there is anything inside.
Just use a low watt light bulb or small flashlight and put it behind the egg. If it is fertile you will see red veins running along the shell and a very dark spot which would be the chick.
You can keep them in a box with a heating pad that is covered by a towel and keep it on low so that it is not too hot. The eggs need to be turned a couple of times a day.
I have hatched ducks and quail using that method and also using my water bed when the power had gone out. They all hatched fine.
Good Luck.

I think the key is they have to be kept consistently warm ( I am not sure of the temperature) So if they were on the ground and got cold, I doubt there is much you can do.
But make a nest out of something fluffy and place them under a lamp with a thermometer. Try to keep them 70 to 80 degrees (this is a guess) do some research.
Call a local zoo, aviary house and ask.

Leave them alone, the parents are probably nearby watching you mess with their nest. Even if they are not, are you prepared to raise baby birds? It is an all day and all night process of feeding. It will take more attention than you can give.

Leave them alone!!!! The parents probably know they have fallen, and are trying to protect them. Don't get in the way!!
