day old doves

[dragon86]

i posted about 2 dove eggs my brother found but didnt get any help there but now both eggs have hatched and i got some crop milk replace from the local feed store. 1 hatched yesterday and the other today just wondered if anyone one had any tips on raising them from hatch. right now there on a towel in the incubator to keep them warm its set at 100 degrees

you need a pippette that the chick can feed their beak into, guide them into it and very very slowly squeeze the feed in when the chicks start to show sign of feeding.
