This is my very first squab so i have no clue whats normal/abnormal. tried finding some info but couldnt find the answers to my questions. So here he is...

Sweet!!!
Well...he is an absolute doll and too young to be away from mama.
I appreciate you sharing this little sweety, but you can wait a few days till baby is older and to make sure mom and dad won't go into a 'tissy over this.

Nice squabs, can you post some pics of the parents?

The white one is the daddy and the grey is momma. She carries herself much bigger and is the less friendly of the 2. Oh and of course a question...the 2nd egg hasnt hatched yet...should I assume its a dud or give it another day? they were laid within 3 days of each other.
