Need help for a newly hatched egg

[duckiegyul]

i posted one in another place so I’ll just copy paste it
So my aunt bought a whole tray of supposedly unfertilized duck egg but one happened to hatch. We know the chances are slim but we want to at least try to make it survive. The duckling is alive and all but we don’t really know what to do next. We need help and as much as possible something that can only be found out home because our country is on lockdown because of covid thank you.

edit: not duck egg
it’s a chicken egg

The duckling can be kept warm with a low wattage bulb once you remove it from the incubator. Don't be in a hurry to take it from the incubator as more eggs might hatch. The duckling can safely be left in the incubator for 24 hours after hatching. For food you cold use hard boiled egg shelled and mashed. If you have dogs or cats, their food can be softened with water and mixed with the egg. Chicken feed can also be used if nonmedicated. Any grain products are OK in a pinch; whole grain breads, cooked noodles, etc. Provide as much variety as you can so the duckling gets the right nutrients.

Sorry but we don’t have any incubators or anything like that because this is totally unexpected. We also couldn’t go out to buy stuff because of the current lockdown in our country for covid. Do you have any alternative ways? I just got a new pic from my cousin and it actually don’t look like a duck

You are correct, that ain't no duck but it sure is a cutie pie chick! If you have a heating pad of any kind, that will do to keep it warm. You MUST keep it warm. For feed you can go into your garden and harvest some dandelion greens chop them up tiny, get some bread crumbs (make your own by drying a piece of bread thoroughly in your oven) crush them up tiny and mix in a little bit hard boiled egg yolk. Make sure the chick has access to clean water.

Chicks ideally need to be with other chicks. Do you live anywhere near any farms where there might be other chicks? These little ones grow very, very quickly so it would be a good idea to have a plan in place about how to care for it. Good luck!!
