wait till they hatch they are ok then when the hatch get some worms and chew the worms up pretty good then feed the chicks mouth to mouth but you might want to turn them in to the vet or a shelter because the are in captivity and they could not learn to fly!

I hate to have to say this but I’m pretty sure usually if the eggs are far away from their mother for a while they usually die. But just to make sure go to a vet or animal hospital and ask them to take a look at the little eggs. I really hope this helps you.

Replace the eggs ASAP. The mother sparrows aren’t the only parents that care for the eggs–the fathers do too. the father may be around there, waiting for his precious eggs to return.
Keep in mind that there needs to be a certain humidity level as well if you want the eggs to survive, and a certain temperature. the temperature can’t simply be “hot”–it should be around 98.7 degrees.
Also, don’t touch the eggs with your bare hands. The oils from your hands may close up the pores in the shell that the young birds need to get air from, and they may suffocate. Use gloves to pick them up and handle them.
Also keep in mind that it is illegal to have bird eggs in your poessesion, unless you can prove that these are house-sparrow eggs, which are not protected by the law. All other birds are, and you may or may not have up to a 500$ fine and/or 6 months in federal prison.
When the eggs are close to hatching, you might hear a small cheeping noise, signalling that they are about to hatch. otherwise, the only other way to check for life is to use the flashlight, etc.
Best,
Phoenix
P.S. are you sure that those eggs belonged to THAT sparrow, and not to another?
