my 1 week chick

[PITALITA0024]

hi, my ? to whom it may concern, is that 2 days ago i brought my old cage from my father inlaw's, its built exactly like the one i have, the thing is that he had 2 pairs with chicks i asum there about 1 week old, when i brought them home the birds seem very curious of the new surroundings, i did my best to place the nest on the new cage as they were in there old cage, one pair seem not to mind they are taking care on there young, but the othere pair seem to have lost interest on there young, now im hand feeding the chick but how much should i give him and how manitimes a day does he need to be fead, please if you have info 4 me please aware me, thanxxxxxxxx..
