Best Answer

Birds eat crushed up shells and fine gravel to help grind up seeds in their crop. The crushed shells will also provide additional calcium to form the shell of future eggs.

You need to find whatever the adult birds eat, then feed the hatchlings the same thing that has been chopped up. For birds that eat seeds, grind up the seeds, mix with a little chlorine free water and feed it to them. For birds that eat meat, feed them a little raw hamburger.
