my cat killed a bird who had a nest in the dryer vent of the house. the robin left behind 5 eggs which should be close to hatching. if I incubate the eggs and hatch them out could I freeze them and feed them to my young redtail?

There would be no harm in feeding the baby robins to your snakes, as you are hatching them out yourself and they will never see any possible parasite, I don't think parasites can infect through the eggs? But there really is not much meal value to it and not really worth the feed. But it would be cool to raise up the robins in your yard. We raise a bird or two each year that has been knocked out of a nest and release them back to the wild in several weeks. Most pet stores sell baby bird food and the equipment needed to feed them. We had one blue jay that stayed all summer and would fly onto are should if we were outside, it was very cool.
good luck
