Dead egg?

[Chickem707]

This egg is cold, is it dead?

(I think it’s a pheasant egg, definitely not chicken)

Not necessarily. It can be but the hen might have left to eat and hasn't come back.

Definitely not a chicken egg, sorry I forgot to mention. I think it’s pheasant but I don’t want to throw it away if it’s living.

If you don't want to throw it away, put it into a bator

Unfortunately I don’t have one

The embryo appears to be dead. But if you find another and want to hatch it, you will need a broody hen or an incubator; mini chick-bators are relatively cheap and work well for only a few eggs. Good luck!

Where did it come from?
Do you have pheasants...and one is broody??

ETA...Oh I see now:

I'd toss it a good ways from anywhere near where you want to be.....
...it's likely rotten.
