Answer 1

Your local Humane Society may be willing to take it.  Call them and ask!

Answer 2

First off, if it gets to that point (hatching) you need to have water and chick feed.....dip it's beak into a shallow dish and it will learn from there and find its food by smell. Keep it warm (a heat lamp is preferable) and contact your local humane society (they aren't likely to take it but....). If all else fails, there's a website called byc.com and you can search for people close to you that might want it.

Answer 3

i could take care of it if you told me where you live and we could meet up somewhere. i would raise it until it is able to fly and i would give it to my friend who lives on a farm and has raised a chicken before. i would be really excited if you gave it to me.

Answer 4

If you can hear it inside the egg then it is ready to hatch.Dont move it around much causethe chick needs to be in the correct position to hatch.Put it in an empty aqarium lined with papertowel.Place a heating pad under the aqarium.Place a couple of damp sponges or a small dish of water in the aqarium to help with humidity.Cover the top with a towel and place a thermometer inside.dont let the temp rise above 98.Then leave it alone.If its still alive and hasnt been harmed by chilling or handling it will hatch soon.Once it hatches you can remove the sponges and allow him to completely dry.He will need food and water in 24-48 hours after hatching.I recomend getting a chich warter from a feed store so he doesnt get in the water and get sick.Leave him in the aqarium for a few weeks,changing his paper towels or wood shavings often.Good Luck!

Answer 5

you could raise it if your careful. get a heat lamp for the egg and then feed it and help it grow til its old enough to be outside on its own.

Answer 6

Find someone who has chickens and ask them to take it.  Once it hatches it's going to need feed and water, and to be kept warm under a heat lamp.

Answer 7

Find someone who has chickens and give it to them.  They will know what to do with it.  Or alternatively give it to the Humane Society.  Until then it needs to be kept warm.
