Set up a box to use as a nest and use a 60w-75w incandescent globe to provide heat. (If you have a thermometer - about 100 degrees F is good.)
Roll the eggs each day using moist fingers (this provides the small amount of humidity required.) Chicken Eggs take approximately 21 days to hatch. By the end of the first week you will be able to candle the eggs and see the veins forming and even the embryo's eye!
Around the 18th day you may be able to hear "peeping" and pecking from inside the egg. Don't be tempted to "help" the bird - it may hatch too early and die.
If you don't have a globe or a lamp, you can do what I do - I pad out our Towel Heater with towels and form a "cradle" at the back - sitting the eggs between the towel heater and the wall. The temperature seems to be perfect for hatching eggs.

Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs.
