Hi Matt, baby pigeons are fed crop milk for the first 2-3 days of their life, then after day 3 or 4, small amounts of regurgitated seed are added to the milk. Crop milk production ceases about day 7-9 and regurgitated seed is fed throughout the fledging period. For a chart on pigeon growth rate and feeding schedule please go to: Feeding schedule for baby pigeons and dovesHope this helps!  | |
