I was taking a walk in my local creek, until I noticed a nest on the ground with two cracked eggs and one egg that was not cracked. That not cracked egg was pretty warm in my hand when I picked it up, so I thought that there is a chance for it. When I was walking back with the egg I saw a cat with a dead robin in its mouth, So that gave me an idea why the nest fell.
I brought the egg home, put it on a towel under a heat lamp. Lately I've been rotating the egg every 30 minutes. My question is what should I do? put it back outside, raise it, or give it to the shelter??
Here are pictures of the egg.
I've read that their extremely difficult to raise in captivity.

I take birds to local rescue almost every year, usually after high winds. they do a good job of saving baby birds, if you take them in before halfway killing them yourself, first ;-)
