need advice for raising baby doves!!

[davidedwards]

Hi yall, I need advice on feeding baby doves, My pair are still very young, with only a bit of fluff and just started to open their eyes. Im very worried that ive been feeding them food thats to runny, apparently asphixiation is a real threat? And one of them seems to be having allot of trouble breathing and fluid keeps comming out of his nose. Is there any way I can help him??
