I've found an egg and I'm not sure what to do

Question

Hi there

I found an egg a little while ago - it is undamaged, blue with very light speckles on it- possibly Robin or Black bird?

I have taken it to my house and put it in a box with tissue and put a hot lamp over it to keep it warm

Any information on what else I can do or is it too late?

Answer 1

Put your little box outside and in the nearest elevated point from where you originally found the egg.  You want to protect it from other animals finding it on the ground and eating it.  Mama bird is probably looking for it.

Answer 2

do you know where the nest is?  look around for the nest and then put it in the nest.  it's a robin egg most likely.  If you don't know where the nest is - keep it warm until you find it.  ???
