Robin Egg

[ScoutCarcer]

I found a robin egg on the sidewalk when I was walking home from the store. I've throw together an incubator that is keeping it at 80 degrees F. Is there anything else I can do for it?

I know most people incubate chicken eggs at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. A robin's egg incubation might even be higher, but I think it also depends on the species of robin. Sorry, I don't know much really.

A robin's normal body temperature is 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The female has a "brood spot" of bare skin under her breast feathers where she incubates the eggs. She turns the eggs periodically for uniform heating. Incubation takes about two weeks. You will need an incubator to keep the eggs at a constant temperature.

If the eggs hatch, you'll need to get the hatchlings to a licensed rehabilitator ASAP. Nestling robins need to be fed a special diet every 10 minutes from sunup to sundown.

I managed to get the temp to 90 F. Ill try to find a licensed rehabilitator.

You can Google rehabilitators in your area, hopefully you will be able to find someone licensed to take birds.
