An acquaintance was cutting a hay field and mowed over a nest. He took the eggs and hatched them in an incubator. Built a large pen, and raised them. That fall he turned loose the hens, but kept the jakes. Ended up only keeping one tom in the pen the next spring so they wouldn't fight too much, but the rest roosted on his barn and house and around the yard, until they eventually were killed by predators or moved off. The one in the pen he had for many years. I'm sure what he turned out was soon coyote food. Illegal as heck, and I don't recommend that way to acquire them.
