Mark the eggs as you go, making notes on what you see so you can keep track of the egg’s development. This can overload the parents, and if incubation has already begun in one nest, they will be out of synch for hatching. Additionally, only candle an egg on days 7 and 14 since you want to keep them safe in the incubator as much as possible.
Do NOT remove eggs from a nest unless you 100% certain they have been abandoned.

Make sure to only take the egg home if you can't find a nest or a wildlife rehabilitator who's willing to take it. shine a light on the eggs constantly. Do not "foster" eggs into another nest. When you head down to Tescos on a Sunday morning for your breakfast supplies, I doubt the idea of incubating and seeing whether you can hatch a supermarket egg ever crosses your mind.

Day 2 - All eggs hatched. This video provides an “inside the box" view of the bluebird nesting cycle and the development and rearing of a bluebird family. If you think the eggs have been abandoned, call a wildlife rehabilitator to come get the eggs and care for them. Start counting after the last one hatched. If you have more eggs than can fit comfortably underneath the lamp, you will need to fit an additional lamp inside the bin to warm the additional eggs.

We follow a pair of bluebirds as they build a nest, lay and incubate eggs, and feed and care for their chicks. Then, return the egg to the incubator, ideally within 20-30 minutes to keep the egg from getting too cold. IMHO, birds are smart and they often know when there is a problem with an egg.

You will have poorer hatching rates from refrigerated eggs, but better than if they were stored at room temperature for a longer period of time. Raccoons did the same thing to my bluebird nest last year and this is how we fixed it… make sure you have a baffle stovepipe that is 3 feet wide, and place it 1 1/2 feet above the ground all the way around the tree or pole, the raccoons will shimmy up the tree and reach in and grab the eggs or babies. The eggs of almost all domestic bird species can be incubated at the same incubation temperature; because of that, eggs of several different bird species can be incubated at the same time within the same incubator.

It can take 24-48 hours for all eggs to hatch.

I would not keep them three weeks, even if perfect conditions. Carol2.

The primary reasons to artificially incubate eggs involve poor parenting by the breeder pair--birds that eat or break their own eggs, birds that abandon their eggs or bury them in the nesting material and birds that injure or kill newly hatched chicks. If you need to collect eggs for a longer period of time the eggs are best stored in a fridge until you need to hatch them.

you should probably wrap them in like paper towels or something when you sit them in a bowl.

An incredible investment of time and effort must be dedicated to proper around-the-clock care, constant turning, proper temperature and exact level of humidity required for successful brooding.

Wildlife rehabbers rarely if ever attempt to incubate orphaned wild bird eggs. Second Cousin Dave. Carol2. Eggs: You can NOT incubate abandoned eggs . I think you should take the birds to a shelter or store or something so they can live. 1,079.
