Hello, I'm new here. I'm from Illinois, I just wanted to ask some information regarding Hatchlings. I have two eggs (i think either starling or robin eggs) that I found outside while cleaning my porch and I am incubating them. What sort of bed/nest should I prepare for the hatchlings?? I know I should keep them in a warm environment so I will buy a heater pad.. But not sure what I need to set up exactly. Can anyone help?

Hello and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.
Thanks!
Sure!
So apparently my incubator didn't rotate the eggs for around 15-16 hours. I see little to no movement but I'll check on the eggs again on Tuesday.
Hi Drew and a warm welcome from me too. I'm guessing you haven't had any luck with these eggs. Such a shame.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

Hi Delia, thank you. I did not, I left the eggs in the incubator for 5 extra days just to be sure. I opened them yesterday and the embryos were dead. I was pretty disappointed but I also did my best. This was my first time using an incubator but I think the problem was caused by too much humidity.
Sure! I'll be posting if I see interesting birds
Aaaw! A shame Drew. You can only do your best but it is extremely difficult to raise birds from the egg stage.
Thanks for trying though.
