Answer:
1. Incubation / Egg Laying
An egg can be fertilized 24 hours before actual egg laying. Eggs remain viable for 10 days after they have been laid before losing viability. It is best to start incubating eggs as close to laying as possible.
Keep feeding utensils and feeding area clean wash hands before feeding
� Keep the chick on the right temperature for its age
� Use fresh food never reheat old food from the last feed
� To make it easier on the bird when feeding go with the chicks chugging motion as he eats. Wait till he starts to beg for the next spoonful, and off you go again. Feeding food to fast can sometimes choke the bub do it in his/her time.
� Always use a thermometer to check the temperature of the food before feeding.
� If food has been reheated in the microwave stir very well and check temp again before feeding as hot spots occur when heating food in the microwave.
� Never feed if the crop has food remaining from the previous feed.
� Use a reliable good quality hand rearing formula and follow the quantity instructions of water to rearing food. Hand rearing mixes get thicker when left to stand. Let the food stand for a minute after mixing and add more water if its too thick before feeding
� Don�t mix chicks of different types in the same container (within reason). This was learnt by personnel experience. One rainbow lorikeet at 7 weeks of age chewed the toes legs and wing tips of three 4-week-old baby king parrots. Causing a blood bath of missing toes and injured babies.
� Don�t change your hand rearing food stay on the one you started with if you have to change introduce the new food into the diet gradually over the next few days by mixing the 2 formulas together gradually until the bird has been reverted to the new mix.
