Anyone ever incubated a bird egg using a desk lamp and thermometor? if so how was it?
No jokes or wisecracks, allowed!
I only wanted to know this if I ever have a scenario like this.

According to this dove raising website it works great.

My daughter tried it with a bantam chicken egg. The egg developed alright for the first two weeks, and then died. It never hatched. She kept a damp cloth in the bowl with the egg, the bowl kept the egg a steady distance from the light (and no chance of it getting knocked around), and everything was going well... Until the lamp got moved (someone either bumped it or she wasn't careful when she was turning the egg...) and the egg died.

Unless you have told your parents about this plan, than I still say not to do it.
Last time you posted you were planning on hiding it from your parents, which means it would not get proper care. Not that you don't mean well, but you can't hide a pet and care for it properly, this includes PROPER HANDFEEDING FORMULA, AND AN INCUBATOR!!!

it takes dedication but the outcome is worth it.
