My mom and I decided to hatch some cockatiel eggs and they came out very successful with 2 cockatiels and both of them have recently stopped digesting properly. We realised that we were feed the babies with formula a bit too thick and not hot enough. After waiting for about 8 hours, a friend told us to pump it out of the crop to risk infection so we did. Today is the next day and we realised that one of the babies’ crops turned darker and the veins were not there anymore. It turns out we shouldnt have pumped the crop at all and used probiotics. The baby is very weak right now and we dont know what to do. Can’t find anything online either. We are first time owners so we dont really know what we’re doing. We don’t have any access to avian vets near us and have been doing everything at home. We really need help and we really want the baby to get better.
