Hey guys. So I own some 4 day old pigeons. And they were abandoned several days before their hatch so I put them in my incubator and hatched them. I’ve done this many many many times before. For about 4 years, and in the past 2 years I’ve only lost about 3 or 4 to issues not involving nutrition. Well maybe one was due to nutrition but the others were food unrelated. Anyways, one of my little ones isn’t gaining weight as much and I just wanted to know what would be some good ways to fatten it up. They are not squabs yet which would have made it easier to fatten up but at this age , what do you guys do or think would help fatten it up? I’ve raised more than 30 pigeons this way. All hand fed with no mother giving them crop milk and out of those 34-35 pigeons, 28 have grown to adults and the rest died from other a multitude of things. So I know exactly what I’m doing. I just never could figures out how to fatten ones up that were not gaining weight properly. The ones that weren’t gaining weight properly either died eventually or grew at a rate 8 times slower than a normal baby would
