Make sure the formula is between 100 and 107 F. Stir it thoroughly before measuring the temp and feeding him. Hot spots in the food can burn a hole in the crop. Make sure the chick's crop is full after feeding. It should bulge visibly and be semi-firm, not hard. If this is a solo chick, give it a small stuffed animal to cuddle with between feedings. The chick should fall asleep shortly after a good feeding and should wake up a few hours later seeking food again. Baby birds being handfed eat a lot! Make sure his vent is clean. If not, clean it with a warm damp cloth or baby wipes. Make sure it's beak, face and neck are clean and free of dried formula.Hi There. What are you feeding the chick? What temperature? How often?
All very important questions.
