IS MY EGG DEAD???URGENT HELP

U mean hand turn it? Then yes

 

[Megan Amber]

No I mean hand feed it when it hatches?

 

[coolmind1999]

Eh I haven't thought about feeding any of the eggs yet :/ I was so worried about it hatching I totally forgot about the future
I've never done this before
I have big doves and I don't incubate her eggs cuz she can manage and has already 4 babies!
My big dove just swallows the food and puts it in the babies mouth so when my little dove hacthes ill give him to his mother ? :/

THIS IS HIM YESTERDAY he is bigger today

 

[Megan Amber]

Look's wonderfully healthy!

Ok like we talked yesterday what do I feed it and I read that I have to keep the dove in the incubator for a week after birth but what if my other eggs hatch and will they kill the dove after fluffing up

 

[Megan Amber]

This is where my bird knowledge ends unfortunately! We have some dove but they only had a baby once, are currently brooding another and I have never hand reared a dove before. I have heard that it can be difficult, if you were going to give it to the mother you would need to make sure she was actually producing food. I would Google it and read up as much as possible.

I don't know the mother layed her first egg and and I put in the incubator and then she stop laying eggs is it a sigh that she is ready for the ban o-O? I'm gonna try one day to put the mother with the baby and see her reaction if she feeds him YAHOO if she refuses him BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD .-.

 

[Megan Amber]

That's what I would do, however I would study ahead of time and make sure to have all the materials beforehand just in case. Like I said I don't know much about dove though so I can't give you to much information. Sorry I couldn't be of more help on this one!

 

[coolmind1999]
