9 Great *** eggs and no mother. What to do?

Well, now it’s like this. About a week ago, a Great *** moved into our barbecue grill, and they build a nes before we could do anything. One day later, the firs egg was laid, and then I had not the heart to move them. Now 9 eggs have been laid.

Today, the mother was found dead just a little bit from the eggs. What should I do?

I am thinking of taking the eggs in, and give them a heating lamp so they will hatch, the feed them, move them back outside to the grill, and let them learn to fly by themselves at the same time as I feed the ones that still are at the nest.

What do you think I should do? Shall i leave the eggs there, and do nothing, or should I take care of the eggs myself.

If I take care of the eggs, how will i be able to give them the right ammount of heat, and wat do the juveniles eat? Will it be possible for them to survive if I take care of them?

Thanks!
