My dad brought home 2 squabs yesterday as they were found in a very dangerous environment, one is doing well, the other is weak and doesn't feel like eating. He has been laying down most of the day. My sister fed him spinach and water earlier and he threw up water a few hours ago. I hand fed him seeds and he seems slightly better. If you know what is wrong with him I would be very grateful!
 
Generally,, squabs are referred to baby pigeons. If they are very young, they need to be fed crop milk by mama and dad pigeon.
They are fed up to about 20 days, with regurgitated feed by parents. After the 20 day period, little one is fed by the male,, (dad) until eats on his own at about 1 month age. Little one will start to pick up seeds before he is fully weened by parent. Timeline varies in different pigeons.
If you have a dove,, I have no knowledge about them.
Post a picture of both of your rescued pets, so we can determine what to go forward with.
I am not sure where you can get crop milk replacement, and easily/readily/quickly.

How are they doing?
Please don't give them any more water! It can kill them when they are that small. Could you give them some warm oats? or mashed warm chicken feed?

You can go to your feed store or pet store Or order online.

I sent this link to someone else already. If you need help feel free to ask me🥰

This is what I told them about it.
It says to make a whole bunch at once. But I
Just make a little bit as I need it. If you ever need the measurements I use I can send them to you.
