How do i hatch a robin's egg?

i found a robin's egg about 2 days ago it keeps getting warm hen cold. so how do i keep i heated without an incubator? i put it under a lamp but i dont know if it will work. what am i supposed to do? im so confused.
Answers:
I am not trying to be cruel, but you are better of not hatching it..you have no idea how long the egg was out in the elements, they embryo may be dead already. If by chance you can keep it warm enough to hatch, then you are going to have a tiny, helpless baby bird that will be practically impossible to feed and keep alive, it will suffer..Put the egg back where you found it and leave it alone. If you want to save the eggshell, leave it in a warm sunny place and the contents will evaporate over the course of the summer.
I would wrap it in a towel underneath a lamp. For about 3 weeks.
and you will of course regurgitate (thats throw up) whatever food you are planning on feeding it? Its mama would and thats the only way its going to eat.
