Answer
Hi Brook,

The eggs will not hatch in the water. Remove them from the water and find a plastic Tupperware. gather some moist but not soaked soil and place it in the container, cover the eggs wit about a half inch of soil, then get some plastic wrap or "saran" wrap and get a tight seal on the top. Poke a few holes for ventilation. In about 60-90 days it may hatch. Since I don't know what kind of turtle it is or the condition of the egg it is hard for me to help. Good luck.
