It's not just foxes which get them, but stoats, weasels, gulls, crows, jackdaws and rooks, birds of prey, cats - they're all out for a tasty snack.
As long as they haven't started sitting the eggs will have stayed cool. To check, try putting them in a bowl of water - fresh eggs should sit on the bottom, and definitely not float.
