With me, as I am not a pro breeder, I leave the parents raise them until they are around 4 weeks old, they they begin to get feather coverage, and keep them together in a feeding box, at this stage so long as they are in a warm room, no drafts they keep themselves warm, and I feed them 4 -5 five times a day to begin and as they get older wean them down and onto soft foods and soaked seeds, millet spray etc.
It is a great deal of fun ! and a great bonding experience.
Mind you I would never have attempted it without the help of my breeder friend Erik
