| Since Precious has come into our lives I was thinking how helpful it would be to have a weight chart handy to make sure she is progressing as she should, but I can't find one.  Does anyone know of such a chart? It would be to have on hand since so many here seem to have babies come into their lives at different ages. Thanks.  |

Hi!
I have a chart but I'll need to scan it in first. I'll do that as soon as I can figure out how our printer/scanner works (I might have to wait for my husband to get home though).

| Hi, sorry for taking so long but we had a bit of a faff with the scanner. [quote=\"EgypSwiftLady\"]Thanks so much Mrs.AR you\'ve made my day   [/quote] You\'re very welcome. I hope this chart is useful: http://www.pigeonsaspets.co.uk/uploads/weight-gain.jpg  Here\'s a tube feeding schedule from the same book (sorry that it isn\'t in table format. I couldn\'t figure out how to make one on this post): Mourning Dove tube-feeding schedule (weights based on California population). Feed hatchling diet to chicks of weights in bold. Birds on the hatchling diet may not require as frequent feeding as is listed. Check the crop at the interval and feed when crop empties. Weight (grams) / Quantity (ml) / Hours between Feeds 10 / 1 / 1
15 / 1.5-2 / 1-1.5
20 / 1.5-2.5 / 225 / 2-3 / 2 30 / 2.5-3.5 / 2 35 / 4 / 2 40 / 5 / 3 45 / 5 / 3 50 / 6 / 3 55 / 6 / 3 60 / 6-7 / 3 Above 65 grams, skip meal if any seed in crop 65 / 6-7 / 3-1/2 Newly admitted juvenile mourning doves over 70 grams will usually self-feed unless debilitated, emaciated, or otherwise compromised. 70 / 8 / 4 80 / 8 / 4 Above 90 grams, do not tube-feed unless bird is debilitated. Healthy juveniles will almost always self-feed at 90 grams. 90 / 9 / 3x/day 95 / 9-10 / 3x/day

| Great idea to have this information for permanent reference! Excellent find, Mrs A.R.! -- Which should stand for 'Amazingly Resourceful'!  |
