How do i incubate a wild bird egg

Eggs And Candling

go into a pitch black room and put a bright torch up to it and you should see the red viens and the air sack [up one end] unlike herp eggs they should be rotated several times twice a day [the hen bird does this naturally] if the egg is jelly inside it doesn,t look good but don,t give in yet waite at least a week, with a good strong torch you can actually see the heart beat at 5-9 days...ps those temps l gave you earlier are right not BS....WR

thankyou i will vouch this is the right advice to. this is a bird not a reptile.

i would leave them for a few more days though they are most probably dead. only problem is the gas buildup can cause a rotten egg to explode :shock: and beleive me it stinks. i have incubated geese,chickens,ducks,guinea fowl,quail all at 39 degrees so 37 might be a bit cold.
