@anowarmolla Oh god that's terrible. I hope you can find someone that can help.

As someone that has gotten into these kinds of accidents with bugs, I know it can be so sad :'' )

@anowarmolla contact your local wildlife rescue organisation, they will have expertise and you might be able to give them the eggs

And, for future - if you're new to photography(?), try to stick to trails. Walking into fields and off-trail/path in breeding seasons will inevitably disturb or harm nesting birds, so keeping a good distance and respecting their space is really important.

@anowarmolla

and keep them warm all the time 😢

If there is no wildlife rescue or bird rescue near you, do you have access to a broody hen? If so, maybe she could keep them warm until they hatch. If not, you could try keeping them warm by wrapping them in soft cloth and setting them on a warm water bottle; eggs need to be turned a few times a day- I’d do at least 3 times a day. Refresh the water bottle with more warm water when it gets cold. Or you could perhaps try keeping the eggs close to your body with a sling or a bra, though not sure ..
