Quick Tips On Hand-feeding!

💚1. Babies aged 1-12weeks are best prepped on a towel or cloth-lined basket during feeding,cold surfaces tend to chill their chest & tummy.
💚2. The syringes and tubes, are to be rinsed well in hot water prior to use.Change to fresh tubes if feeding multiple chicks.
💚3. For Babies of 1-2weeks use a 1cC syringe & as the babies & their appetite grow, use larger syringes.Once they reach the 10cc syringe,just refill and feed instead of using a spoon as this would result in spills & alot of cleanup,stressing the chick.
💚4. Especially Ekky babies require a low fat and medium protein formula like KAYTEE. Start with a very thin mixture for the first feeding & slowly thicken to a creamy consistency over the next 2-3days.
💚5. Place the jar of wet formula mixture,in a bowl of very hot water about 35*C, throughout the feeding process as babies aren’t fast feeders,the formula could cool down.
💚6. Never microwave the wet mixture,as the temperature could be uneven,resulting in crop burn,the bowl process takes time but is worth protecting the chicks from formula that is too hot/cold.
💚7. It’s important to NOT grasp the head of the baby during feeding,instead lightly guide their beak towards the syringe.The amount of formula may be increased,
ONLY when the chick wants it,never overfeed to a point where the crop is too full & it fills into the neck area.
💚8. Recording their weight is essential to keep track of their health.A chick should triple their hatch weight in the first 7days-starting with the day of hatch as zero.Average hatch weight of an Ekky is 14g-17g, meaning a 7day old chick should weigh around 45g+.
💚9. It’s best to feed the baby:
8times a day for the 1st week after hatching, then
6xday - 2nd week.
4xday - 3rd to 5th week.
3xday -6th to 9th week.
2xday - 10th week & to be continued until the chick is interested in weaning,around 12-14 weeks most times.
💚10. A healthy Ekky baby of 14weeks will weigh 350-400g pre-weaning. Any weight loss during the hand-feeding period should shown to a vet. The ONLY time a weight loss by about -50g is acceptable,is post-weaning, when the chick starts eating solids on its own.
