Abandoned bird eggs?

When I was outside, below my oak tree, I found bird eggs. I looked up and saw that the nest broke and they fell to the ground. We know it happened not to long ago because the eggs weren't on the ground this last weekend. We aren't touching them and are waiting for the mother to come back. How long should it be before I should worry and will I be able to help if the mother won't come back. Please, Help!
Answers:
The eggs are most likely already dead. If they got too cold they would have died. Them falling to the ground could have killed them as well. The mother bird cannot and will not incubate them once they have fallen from the nest. She has probably moved on once she realized the nest had been knocked over.

if it was last weekend and the eggs are out of the nest that long they probably arent good anymore the mother knows this and wont come back birds are generally good parents so if the mother hasnt come back by now she has probably moved on sorry :-(

Unfortunately the eggs are probably already dead. They need to be kept warm. And if eggs fall out of a nest the parents just don't bother with them because it could take as few as 2 minutes for the hatch-ling within to die from cold.
The nest is designed to keep them somewhat warm, out of the cold grass, and the parents spend lots of time sitting on them to keep them warm. Without that warmth, it's disaster for the chicks.
Sorry for you. Me? I've successfully rescued a baby sparrow from death by keeping it inside away from the neighborhood cat. Every afternoon we placed him in the hanging flower basket and watched the parents fly back and forth taking care of him until he was able to fly away. He did, and we cried because - dumb as it sounds - we fell in love with him. Named him Downey.
But if you touch a wild bird, - NO - the parents WON'T reject him.
