Question:

Testing the fire alarms again?

The landlord put up a sign saying they were gonna test the firealarms Tuesday, so I went to the library all day. (checks watch) Today is Thursday and now the alarm is going on and off. I don't think it's a real fire because it would keep going.How annoying is this?

Ok, a box with a bulb is a fire hazard. Please don't do this. Check the temp of your blanket with a thermometer. If it's below 99, or above 103, chances are the egg is already dead. If you found the egg on the ground, having fallen from a nest, it is more than likely already dead. A sudden jarring kills embryos. If you still think the egg has a chance, you can continue with the heat blanket (so long as the temp is in the right range), but put a damp cloth in next to the egg. Humidity is a big part of getting the egg to hatch. Over handling the egg can force germs in through the shell (an egg shell is porous), so don't handle it any more than you have to. Mark one side of the shell with a magic marker, and turn the egg two or three times a day, so that part of the time the mark is up, and part of the time the mark is down. After saying ALL of this, have you thought out what kind of bird it is? If it's a wild bird, the diet will range from dead bugs to regurgitated seeds, depending on breed. AND, the baby bird will need to be fed every couple of hours. If this is a wild bird, please rethink trying to hatch it. Good luck.
