Don't know about ringnecked but I think Tom Shooter hatches pheasants for shooting probably like all the farms do round us  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

You should have no problem, all reared gamebirds used to be hatched under broodies.
I think the phes chick crumb is higher protein so you may need to buy some or i seem to remember turkey food does the job.
What are your plans for them when they are grown ?

Thanks gentlemen.

Thought I'd keep a trio and pass a few on to a friend of mine with a lot more land than me.

Maybe eat one.
