WARMTH!!
you cant. you can try but it wont work just keep it warm and make sure it has Light on it 24/7 like a heat lamp.
they make incubators for bird eggs to keep them warm, i dont know what the ideal temp for a robin would be though
How did you come across it?
Research on the internet or take it to an animal rescue centre to someone who knows what they are doing.
and just what do you propose to feed it. you realize that hatchlings will only eat what mama has regurgitated? I tried to hatch a robin egg when I was a kid. It hatched and then we watched it die because we could not get it to eat. Just thought ya ought to know.
I am sorry to tell you but your chances are very remote.My wife has raised almost every kind of baby animal we ever had but the baby birds always die.
Baby birds only eat chewed regurgitated food. Don't try to give the baby bird bugs, no matter how small they are. Bird can't chew. make sure that it is always warr. See if there are any websites that offer tips. But don't be surprised if the baby bird won't make it, for it is very difficult for it to survive without the proper care of its mom. just be patient
The best thing you can do for the baby bird is put it back in its nest. It is not true that adult birds will not take care of young that have been touched by humans. It's a myth. If you know where the nest is and it's accessible then you should try and put it back. Watch to see if the parents come back. They probably will especially if there are other birds in the nest.

If this is not possible, try looking for wildlife rehabilitation centers in your area, or call your state game warden's office. A vet may also be able to help, especially if you find one that specializes in birds.
Take it a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, you will never keep it alive.

It is also very illegal for you to have the bird in your possession.
