the crop is flat when empty now i dont know why it was like that before. the little chick is very energetic and looks very healthy. i cannot obtain the kaytee formula because it is not available down here and to import it would take too long. he is two days old now and is looking good. when do their eyes open(after how many days?)

Usually their eyes open around 4 or 5 days old. You may not be able to find Kaytee, but there must be another brand of some kind. Surely someone in your area, at some point, has had to raise a baby bird.

lol i talked to the president of the club here and he said that he had never done it but i am going good with the baby formula. my uncle said that he raised too many birds on the formula and the chick is still alive going on to day 4 now so i think that the baby formula is good enough. and VERY few people in barbados keep pigeons (theres only 12 people in the club) or birds furthermore so it doesnt make sense for a pet store to bring it in if its not going to sell. thanks a lot tho

No, never put new food on top of old food that is still in the crop. The crop needs to empty completely before you feed again.

Read this thread. I know you aren't feeding Exact, but I believe the same principles apply.
