you need to find a wildlife rehabilitator in your area. They will take the babies if/when they hatch & raise them. Google 'wildlife rehabilitator ___(area)___' or call your nearest zoo or Texas Parks & Wildlife or Game warden. They should be able to direct you.

Okay i mean in the egg i held a flash light up to them and i saw veins inside the egg but i dont see a complete image! I need to know if they are alive or not? I took a look at all the eggs but they all look the same inside so how do i know if they are alive or not! ???

Googling "mockingbird incubation period" I found out that it's normally 12-13 days. Wait that long (since I presume the eggs weren't found the day they were laid) & if nothing hatches out, you will know!

Or candle them every other day or so & see if the dark spot is growing any larger. That would be my suggestions.
