The right thing evidently the wrong thing

After going to Walgreens and getting a syringe and mixing up some bread bits with water, the wildlife rehabber I managed to get a hold of last night told me she didn't think the egg would have even hatched if Mrs. Finch had really been gone as long as I thought, and told me to wait until morning and watch for her again. I've been watching for the last 45 minutes. I just checked the nest again. It's dead. The other eggs have not hatched, and I'm feeling pretty confident at this point they never will.

:-( I'm sorry.

I'm sad. But on the other hand, after almost 2 days without food right after hatching, I'd be a little surprised if it could have developed properly anyhow... I think maybe the best I could have done would have been to prolong it's misery... or at least I feel better telling myself that.

I'm really sorry. I know I don't handle that sort of thing at all well. I feel bad enough as it is, and I'm not even in the same state...
