they are similar to brooding turkeys, I always say they hatch better under a hen of some kind but they can be hatched in an incubator, feed them game bird starter, and whole grain is good, maybe some meal worms if you have access too them, once they get some size on them like turkeys they are pretty well in the clear, I always let my pea hens do all the work but did hatch them under a broody hen once or twice,
