'How long can eggs stay without the mother?'

Diamond (76.25.58.121) -

I was wanting to know how long can a egg be without his mom. Because it was snowing and we put the nest in a bird house so they can be warm, and when the mother came back she didn't want to go in the bird house. Its a big bird house and she can see her nest.Do you think she will go back to her nest? WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!!!

did you touch the eggs?if you did the mother can smell your sent and she will think you did something to her eggs so she will not want them any more.she will abandon them you could help them live by putting a cloth lously around them with a lamp by them . if yuo did not touch them the mother should come back in a few days.ihope this helps!

My friend and i found a mom bird and 5 eggs. We captured the mom and found an old nest and put her eggs in it. We touched the eggs to put them in. We want to know how to take care of the eggs since the mom doesnt seem to have any interest in them. What do we do???
