Today  my little sister got handed a fertilized egg from a friend at school. So  her and I have been "googleing"  what to do with it; and have found nothing.   Please help!

Incubate it! Then see what happens!  old.gifIt would be a great experience for her, depending how old she is

You can try a heating pad. temp needs to be 98 - 100 degrees though and you need about 35 -45 % humidity. 

might be more trouble than it's worth.

Find your counties University Extension office.  Often they have incubators you can borrow.
