10 days old, you can add milk powder, peas, rice flour, flour, glucose, yeast tablets and protein digestive enzymes to porridge to make it into semi-thick feed.
At the age of 20 days, the above materials can be made into larger particles.
For 30 days old, you can put corn, sorghum and peas for the young pigeons to peck.
2. Feeding methods
Pigeons are suitable for feeding small granular feed after hatching, such as brown rice, mung beans, millet, wheat, rape and so on.
Feed should be clean and free from mildew. Increase the feeding times of breeding pigeons and extend each feeding time, so that the parent pigeons have sufficient feeding time and feeding time.
3, pigeon care
(1) Make the young pigeons grow evenly. A pair of young pigeons, one big and one small, should be fed with some sanitary sand to strengthen the absorption capacity of the stomach.
Or temporarily isolate the big squab so that the little squab can get more feed.
(2) pigeon adjustment. A pair of young pigeons died suddenly and hatched one or only one young pigeon. Pigeons can be placed in another nest of single pigeons of the same age or age.
This process should be carried out at night to prevent being pecked.
Don't disturb breeding pigeons within 3 days after hatching, so as not to trample them to death, and don't let feces pollute them.
