Incubation blood ring or not

[Aheers30]

New here...I found a blue Robin egg I believe and truly didn't think anything would come of it. I put it in the incubator just to see what would happen and after 3 days I saw a visible heart beat and veining. I woke up this morning and my heart skipped a beat when I didn't see so much excitement in the egg during candling. Could this baby be alive or not? I put it back in the incubator for now to see what happens in a few days. I posted a video of both days....also can anyone tell me what number day you think this little guy is. I thought between day 5 or 7

Welcome to BYC!

Pictures are very small and hard to see. It still looks alive though. Songbirds don't take as very long to hatch. Fourteen days I believe. What do you plan on doing with it once it hatches?

Thank you!

I've read online it only takes up to 14-19 days for songbirds to develop. I will be releasing it once it's able to fly and eat on its own if it does make it. Fingers crossed!

Google tells me 14 days for Eastern Robins to hatch. Are you prepared to feed it? Wishing you good luck!

Updating photos this am, still unsure. I'm not seeing the veining like I did on day 5. When I first found the egg, it was just yolk. By Tuesday night it developed a small embryo with a beating heart and faint veins. The following day it grew from. A spec to a sprinkle sized embryo and the veins were more prominent.

Day 5
Day 6
Day 7

I've only had the egg for 7 days

I hope you know how to feed the baby songbird once it hatches. It's not easy.

It's really hard to see some I'm not really sure. Maybe keep it a little longer?

You need to buy the baby food now so it will be on hand if it hatches. Also get some droppers.
