Baby pigeon!!!!

[youyou2910]

Thanks all for the reply, I did ton of youtubing and when I gave up I posted the above. The method that I am trying now is the Kaytee hand feeding formula and this is my second day trying it. Before I fed just seeds and water same the parents were using and I fed him by hand bye hand. I am feeding two baby runts and one baby Modena. The runts are doing well and I can see the improvement but the Modena is not and he is the one troubling me. He still active but I can feel him becoming less active by time. I am suspecting a slow crop issue with him since he is always stuffed. His poop is lightly dark green which support the idea more. one of the methods I found is to give him warm water and message the crop so I did that starting today but I don't see much improvement. Any advise before I lose him I don't have difficuly feeding him, The balloon Idea is great but I don't know where to go with all that happening

Looks like he is going to make it!
Just for your information I have some squabs that started to eat on their own at around 4 weeks when provided with food and water.

Putting extra eggs/squeakers under at night hidden in hand, has worked best for most breeds, but my flights rollers and parlors will brood anything anytime. even fight for other nests/lings. Offering straight layer with or instead of usual food usually has them feeding. all till they're looking ready to pop and then lster have to have extra weight conditioned off from from flight training, but well worth for great healthy start (they seem to grow even fast enough to watch grow.. lol). i don't keep my non nesting adults on straight layer, especially until fall, as seems they lazy pudgy and over heat easier as well as poop up a storm. heard extra protien could long term be bad for them over ten or longer years time.
