Mallard Momma nest

We have a Momma Mallard that has laid 6 eggs in the crotch of a river birch in our fenced in yard. I have many worries! The our dogs - one a dachshund will not leave alone. And I am sure once they hatch they babies will not survive her. and there is no way for the hatchlings to get to the pond on the other side of the fence until they can fly. But If I move the eggs to the other side of the fence will momma find them? I would wear gloves and provide a nest bed. I need help for momma!
