Notice if the crop is taking longer to empty. If you feed a bedtime but in the morning half the food is still in the crop, then this baby is already dehydrated and has an infection. A change in appetite, activity or weight gain are all important. If you notice one change, then you have caught it early. If you wait until you have identified four changes, then you have waited too long and the baby will die.
Duplication is forbidden.
