14 days old jackdaw egg, is it already dead?

[ArekW]

So as i asked is that embryo dead? because i dont know if i should incubate it for few more days, and yes i can see veins and a black dot inside

I see a yolk in a speckled egg.

What embryo?

How long have you incubated it for already? If more than a few days, it's not fertile.

What is a Jackdaw? Lol

 

[Lemon-Drop]

Some sort of crow? How did you get a Jackdaw egg?

Oh. I had to Google it. Thats not what we call them, but if you've incubated for 14 days already, no, pitch it. Moms only incubate them for about 17 days, so by now, the baby bird would be WAY more developed than that and would take up most of the egg. The egg is unviable. I honestly see no development at all. How are you incubating it? I highly doubt a crow egg requires the same incubation specs as a chicken. Also, baby birds are completely dependent on their mothers feeding them by regurgitating food for them. Were you prepared to do this for a month around the clock? Lol, I'd leave nature to nature.

So my dad found a nest in a chimney and he would just throw it away, so i decided to take them, made homemade incubator and it kinda worked, about 37-38 degrees celcius and i put there a bowl with water, rotate them 3 times a day, now decided to throw them away, i only saw a small bean like embryo that probably died on day 3 or 4, (there was 2 eggs second was just empty, and i knew about a feeding i spent alot of time learning about them, well nothing did go as i would expect. Sorry about my broken english.

There's nothing wrong with experimenting or trying to give them a chance if the alternative was dad throwing them out. I was just meaning that it takes alot of work and dedication and you must be fully prepared to take on roll as mom the same way their mom would. That is a BIG responsibility. Things not going as expected with wild animals is why i say it's best to leave nature to nature. Domesticated animals and pets are complicated enough, lol.
