Small egg in yard???

[Miss Cheep]

Hello! I was walking in my backyard, and found a little egg! I found it near my walnut tree. Does anyone know what kind of bird this egg came from? Can I hatch it? (Pics below)

I still so no yolk, no veins and no wild bird egg.

This looks very very very much like a duck fairy egg.

Breeding season for the birds/reptiles/amphibians (and whatever turtles are) people have listed hasn't started yet.
The ducks have access to the area the egg was found.

I'd suggest throwing it away and forgetting about it if it aint from your birds. It happens to be from a wild protected species you can face all kinds of charges if caught with it, good intentions or not.

If this is indeed an owl egg, owls are protected under the Migratory Bird Act. This makes it a federal crime to be in possession of any eggs, chicks or adult birds.

Regardless, wild bird or reptile eggs should not be incubated or taken from the wild unless you are a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

I actually think that's a turtle egg or some other reptile egg based off of the size and shape.

I agree 100%

I agree, this egg looks exactly like a yolkless Muscovy egg.

I actually want to see where this is going If I were you I would try to figure out what kind of bird it is and then see what temp it needs to be hatched at.

Cool! I have no idea. Almost looks like a small duck egg if you ask me, just because of the way the shell looks. What species do you have in your area? Maybe some others will be able to help.
If you hatch it I'm following!
For now, store it air cell up at room temp. Don't wash it.

Ok! I won't wash it. The only ducks we have in that even go over there are muscovies. It's shell is hard, so if its a muscovy egg why is it so small? I really want to hatch it!
