How to raise a newborn pigeon who is physically weak and easy to die

A young pigeon is a pigeon that comes out of its shell to 28 days old. The parent pigeon will use its beak to blow and lactation the young pigeon after 2 hours, and then 2 hours later, the parent pigeon will be breast-fed. At this time, the young pigeon is weak and easy to die, so it needs to strengthen management.

Young pigeon

First of all, observe carefully to prevent young pigeons from being injured or frozen to death by breeding pigeons. If you are born 5-6 hours and still can't get pigeon milk, you should find out the cause in time and breast-feed manually if necessary. When the parent pigeon is not breast-feeding, it can be raised in the same period of breeding pigeon, which can avoid some parent pigeon feeding single pigeon and improve the production capacity.

After 3-4 days of age, the young pigeons opened their eyes, became stronger, began to grow feathers, ate more and more digestible. At this time, the parent pigeon feeds the young pigeon frequently, up to a dozen times a day, so the feed for the parent pigeon is nutritious and sufficient to meet the needs. At this time, the amount of faeces of young pigeons increases, and it is easy to pollute the nest, and the mat cloth and mat grass are changed every day to avoid disease.

When the squab is 10 days old, it has many feathers and can walk on its own. The heat preservation time of young pigeons is shortened, and the food is changed from pigeon milk to half granular fodder. A small number of young pigeons fail to adapt, resulting in indigestion and crop inflammation. At this time, yeast tablets or stomach-strengthening drugs should be fed in time to help digestion.

When the baby pigeon is 15 days old, its feathers are basically full and can move freely. It can be caught out of the nest and spread a piece of cloth of 20cm × 20cm in the cage so that it can slowly adapt so as not to sprain its feet. At this time, the feed of parent pigeons is granular, which is the same as the feed eaten, and most parent pigeons begin to lay eggs again, inadvertently feeding young pigeons, which should be artificially fed during this time.

After 20 days of age, the young pigeon has plump feathers and can move around, but can not rely entirely on its own pecking, but can still rely on the parent pigeon, but can take the initiative to beg for food. At this time, the parent pigeon will force the squab to feed independently. At this time, management should be strengthened and the supply of high-protein feed should be increased to meet the needs of young pigeons.

When young pigeons grow to the age of 25-28 days, they can weigh up to 500-750 grams and can be sold.
