Taking the "down" feathers from a day old chick and putting it one the head of a warm wet pinkie is the best trick in the book.

I have a baby that is giving me trouble and I can't get day old chicks right now and the day old quail I have is not working.

I am a fan of the pinkie press for things that are really trouble. It is a little more gentle if done carefully and it is a better guarantee. I have had success getting things eating on their own after some pinkie pressed meals better than I have ever had with assist feeding.
