My little chick is 2 weeks old and is eating hagen's baby bird formula.He has been hand fed since hatching.I noticed that his siblings,which are parent raised,seem to have seed in the crop.What ,when and how should I introduce food to my little guy?I would like for him to have the healthiest diet possible.But,I don't want to chance any tummy upset.Typical new mother!(Laughing out loud)! I just want to do every thing right.Please advise.

The parents are the ones that are offering a small amount of seed to the ones that are old enough for it. They can in fact feed every baby a different type of diet according to age.

 

Since you are using a formula that is made to hand raise budgie I would worry about the seed. I must state I have never hadn reared a budgie before. But the formula should be fine in itself. I wouldn't start worying about adding seed to him until around 3 almost 4 week mark.
