After the squab is hatched, the parent pigeon will naturally raise its offspring carefully, but in production, there are many problems that the parent pigeon cannot take into account, and the careful care of the management personnel is needed to make the squab grow normally and improve the productivity of the breeding pigeon.

Meat pigeons hatched, young pigeons about 18 grams, eyes are not open, body with fetal hair, inclined to lie in the belly of the parent pigeons. About 24 hours, already feel hungry, so, it will continue to stretch the head, touch the belly and crop of the parent pigeon, the parent pigeon knows the requirements of the young pigeon, with the beak to hold the beak of the young pigeon, and then slowly spit out food in the mouth of the young pigeon, let the young pigeon suck, the young pigeon is full, and lies comfortably on the belly of the parent pigeon to sleep.

Three or four days later, the squab eyes slowly opened, the body gradually strengthened, and the feathers on the body began to grow. At this time, the squab began to learn to walk, the food intake increased day by day, the digestion increased, so the parent pigeons frequently fed the squab, sometimes as many as nearly 10 times a day. Therefore, the nutrition of the parent pigeons should be higher, and the amount of beans can be increased, and the amount of food for the parent pigeons in the brooding period will also increase a lot, about 1 time more than that of the non-brooding pigeons.
