Inch Wild

how do I hatch a wild bird egg?

I found a wild birds egg this morning and brought it in because it was in the wide open in the grass not near a nest or anything. If it helps the egg is all white and small about an inch long and half inch wide. Currently I have the egg in a plastic bowl on a towal that is sitting on a heating pad which is on low. I keep feeling the egg to make sure its not hot or cold. I just want to take care of the egg untill I find someone who can come and get it to take propor care of it. So what should I do and what shouldnt I do to take care of it?

You’re doing all you can right now with what you have. Trouble is it’s very difficult without an incubator to keep the right temp. which has to be between 99 and 99.5 constantly. Also they need to be turned a minimum of 3 times/day. Even if it got cold for a few hours, it can still be alive and continue to grow. Hope you can find someone with an incubator or a wildlife rehabber. Also check with your local vet or avian vet to see if they know someone with an incubator that could take it.
