I found this pigeons egg, help?

Who knows if its fertile? Even if it is if you "found it" somewhere then the chick is dead by now so there is nothing you can do. The egg was probably dropped by a predator pigeons don't lay eggs just anywhere it will have been taken from the nest.

Eggs need constant specific heat and humidity for many days before they hatch. Only their parent or an incubator can provide this nurturing. Any longer than an hour without being kept warm and the chick will die inside the egg.

Just throw the egg away, not every egg is destined to hatch I'm afraid.

I had a few eggs like this. If the inside of the egg yokes looks it is moving around inside the egg it is most likely your egg is not fertile. The darkish color you see would of been the bird,but now it's the yolk. like I said if it's moving around as you hold it up to the candle it's not fertile. The longer you keep it the darker in color it will get because it's a rotten egg just like any other and the lamp your keeping it under is heating the yolk.

Got a chicken? Uh -- a small (bantam) chicken?

Really, I would put the egg back. Pigeons aren't the brightest little things

and sometimes lay eggs just wherever they happen to be standing when the

urge strikes.... I once found a pigeon's egg on the top rail of a 3 story

cable rack, sitting there in the summer sun, all by it's lonesome, no nest or anything.

Just sitting there on the top of center of a section of 3" square tubular steel,

18 feet high. Didn't last very long.

I have no Idea really but I would call a bird place and ask them what to do. But I think you are doing ok. I hope it lives and that it is really alive and fertile. Keep me posted at horseslol@yahoo.com . I love birds and I have saves 5 adults and 2 babies and 1 egg.

Best bet is to get rid of it, because even if it does hatch, it will eventually die if not already dead inside its egg, because the egg has to be in a specific place and kept in the exact, warm tempature for the baby bird to survive, and since you handled it the mother and her mate will not provide the care it needs since it senses a human smell, it will not care for it once so ever. And since you probably don't have any experience taking care of a hatched bird then you should probably discard it, but if you insist of keeping it, its your decision.

well yes my darling the little ring around the outside is sort of like incubation to keep the baby alive and inside the dark in the middle is the little baby =) what you should do is go to where you found it and see if there is a nest near by and if so check to see if the eggs look the same and put this one back

Hmm, i've researched and I think you should chuck it if you want.. i have one of my own atm and keeping it warm.. Carolyn my egg is just moving around does that mean its not fertile? anyway i'm keeping mine because I have hope in my egg...its up to you i think u should keep it hope I've helped :)

well if you havent cooked it against the candle, then the best you can do is hand it in to the rspca or a local animal welfare group.

Destroy it, not like we need anymore of those sky rats anyway

wth is your question?
