Question

ive found an egg and i thin its a pigeon, but i dont know what i have to feed it or how much or how often. ive heard 1 person say 2-3 times a day and aother say every 2 hours, which one is true? will egg feed from my local pet store be enough? (it says to feed it 2-3 times a day aswell but i want to make sure) it doesnt say how much to feed it each time, so how much do i have to feed it?

You start off by feeding every two hours for several days.
Best to feed a baby formula, Kaytee Exact is sold at most pet stores and provides them with all necessary vitamins and minerals which they do need for proper growth.
I prefer to feed Harrison's Juvenile Formula which you can order online. You will need a small syringe and maybe a tube if you're up to tube feed.
There is a lot of information on our resource section on feeding babies, you can go and take a look. You will ned to be prepared with everything and have formula and syringe on hand before tha baby hatches.

You first have to hatch. How do you plan to do this?
