This formula has the complete nutrition a baby needs. Also you can make your own formula if you cannot find the store bought kind, heres how: *reduce to a fine powder using a blender, then mix with warm (100-108 degrees F) water to a thin cream. -3 tablespoons of high protien baby cereal -1 1/2 tablespoons of wheat germ -1 1/2 tablespoons of millet meal -1 1/2 tablespoons of sunflower meal -5 drops of a multivitamin for birds. When feeding, you can use a spoon or a syringe, dropper. The baby can be fed every 4 hours except at night. Since its already at a stable stage, it will thrive and grow very quickly. When feeding the chick, hold the chick in a towel and push the dropper into the chicks mouth, he will not like it at first, but slowly squeeze formula into his mouth. Wait for him to lap it up and continue until his crop is full. I hope it will help you. If it is available, you can pick up some avian feeding formula at the pet store.
