Are you prepared with an incubator, proper food and the time commitment? Since the parents have escaped your only choices seem to be to take over for the parents, quickly find someone else who can do it or let the chicks die. If you decide to do it, others here can give you advice on how to do it. What country do you live in - that will help others assist in where to find supplies.
As for placing them with another budgie (hen, I assume), she may or may not accept them. If she's raised a clutch of her own, it may be more likely she'll accept this clutch. Watch carefully to make sure she doesn't hurt them. Have the eggs hatched?

Chicks or eggs can be fostered to an obliging hen, usually one with a bit of experience works best, and with a clutch of her own at the moment.
