Hi!

The way to find out if the egg is alive is: Go to a dark room and take a flashlight and shine it on one end. If you look closely, you will see tiny red lines ( kind of like veins ) and organs or heart.

To hatch it: Place it in an Incubator or Under a lamp. Not to close or you will burn the egg. Find some worms outside and mash them or cut them up. The baby will open its mouth and you put it in piece by piece.

Keep it for as long as you want until it learns to fly or it becomes an adult. Then release it and let God decide what to do with it or give it to Animal Services.

Hope this helps & Good Luck!

keep the egg warm. u cant raise the robin then let it in the wild cuz they will learn to rely on u as they grow. keep it in a extreemly large cage very high and wide. feed it worrms , mashed or chopped while young whole when older
