I put them under the red Brooder light to warm them up ! They never even moved, all night! This morning I couldnt get either to drink, I helped , dipping their beaks into warm water , to no avail!
So I mixed up a gruel of Wildbird seed ( ground to a powder in my old coffee grinder ) and ground up some Beneful lamb and rice dry dog food, added hot water. I took a plastic drinking straw and cut the end off into a point! Then dipped it into the gruel and hand fed the babies! They didnt fight it but it took a couple of tries for them to swallow!
