Found an egg on my dock

[can't get enough chicken]

Lol, I think it's funny everyone is talking about food when the baby has only just pipped, lol. It can go 48 hours without food or water.

I would much rather be prepared than not!

I can hear it making noises! Unless I am going crazy which I wouldn't doubt at this point!

I know, lol. I would go with scrambled eggs if you want to feed it. A vet once said to me almost every rescued bird can be fed eggs in a pinch.

The babies I raised started begging a few hours after hatching (normal for egrets), 48 hours without food or water would probably put it at risk for dehydration/malnutrition. Being semi-altricial their yolk sacs are smaller and give less nutrients, as mom and dad feed them very soon after hatching.

Ok, sorry I don't want to provide false information. I've clearly never had any experience with egrets. Thanks for correcting me, sorry if I came off rude. It's hard to say some things and not come off weird online.

What do they sound like? Duck, egret?
