it probably wont hatch unless u hav an expensive incubater or somthin but hey u can always have it for breakfast!
If you want you can see if there is anything inside the egg. Here is how: Put a flashlight under the egg to see inside!
Go to:…
It is probobly a robins egg.
if u have had it for a couple of hours it may not live but if you recently found it look around the tree where you found it and locate a birds nest a place it inside the nest and this is probaly a robins egg
Quick put it somewhere warm but not to warm hurry
The best thing to do is to leave it where it is! It is a Robin’s egg and has fallen from it’s nest! If you touch it, the mother will smell human scent on it and leave it to rot. If you have touched it, put it under a warm light and surround it with a towel until it hatches, wrap it in a towel and place it back into the nest without touching it with your skin.
Even if you could keep it warm and hatch it, it’s doubtful that you could nourish it and raise it. If you can find its nest, put it back in. If not, let it go. Sorry, I’m an animal lover and I can’t stand the thought of it being born just to die.
Find the nest and put it back. An inexperienced person would have a very difficult time trying to rear a tree nested type bird. They must be fed every 30-90 minutes to keep them alive. If you don’t give them the proper protein/carb ratio they will die. And many more problems and annoyances that most people won’t really have time for due to work, life and kids.
If however you are serious, contact your local wildlife rescue or fish and game offices. They will be able to guide you on your best course of action.
It is either a robin or bluebird egg.
Get a small plastic container or shoe box & put a heating pad on the bottom inside, place a small basket on top of the heating pad & turn it on & keep the temp in the “basket” at 98-99 degrees, place shredded white paper towels in the bottom of the basket & place the egg on the paper towels.. Place a small glass of water in the corner of the box. Put a mark on the glass of water to indicate where the water line is. Then keep an eye out for the water line to drop. If it doesn’t drop by the nest day, sprinkle water on the paper towels, NOT ON THE EGG…You will drown the chick inside-eggs have small pores to take in oxygen & humidity.
Be sure to turn the egg about 4 times a day to help circulate oxygen.
When the chick hatches…DO NOT FEED IT SEEDS OR WORMS…First off, don’t feed it for 2 days, as it is still feeding on the yolk. Go to your local pet store & buy some kaytee exact handfeeding formula for $4-$7 a bag & get a handfeeding syringe from tsc for about $1.50 each. You only need one. Follow the directions on the package precisely. You do not want to burn the chicks crop, or make it go into shock by feeding it too cool. To not puncture the crop & wait till the crop is completly empty before the next feeding as it will cause the chick to get spoiled crop & die.
Keep a log book of feedings.
Try not to handle the chick too much as you do NOT want to tame a wild bird. You will have to act as the mother by teaching it how to fly. I do suggest that you build a birdhouse for the outdoors for the bird to live in when it is old enough. DO remember that you can not legally keep this bird in captivity. If you have any questions please feel free to ask….I have been a bird breeder & rescue for 12 years & continue to do what I love.
if it is light blue it is probably a sparrows egg and it is probably dead becuase it has been cold for too long unless you have been keeping it warm. just keep it warm and it might hatch probably not but oh well!!!!!!!!!!
