HELP!! Wildbird eggs

[Starlings and dogs]

so one of my family cats killed a mother bird that has 3 eggs that are in reach, so i can easily reach them but i dont know what to do with them once i get them down. i have raised nestlings before but never had to hatch them from an egg. I think the mother was a fly catcher but am unsure


PLEASE help I don't want them to die because of one of my cats

Do you have an incubator? If not, you can try putting them on top of the refrigerator since that usually generates heat. If they hatch, they hatch. If not, you can say that you tried.

You can candle the eggs to see if they're developing or if they're still alive by shining a flashlight in to them and looking for movement/veining. You can also place a plastic bowl over the eggs to trap more heat in while they're on top the fridge to help them in developing.

could i leave the eggs outside until they hatch or will that kill them. should i rotate them every once and i awhile?

I don't think they would be warm enough just left outside but I'm not positive. Rotate them at least 3x a day or more but always am odd number.

They need 99.5-100° to incubate correctly

I think you could put them outside if you put a bowl over them and some wet cloth's if there isn't enough humidity and turn them... I love birds and especially babies or eggs! It has been my dream to raise a baby bird! Please let them survive!
