Well,you'd generally leave it to the hen to rare them,for the first day i would feed them boiled eggs mashed up,and slowly increase the chick starter. Obviously make sure theyv fresh water At 4 week introduce a does for worms in their water and also ring their beak to prevent feather pecking but do this around 6 weeks, And at 7 weeks treat again for worms and introduce rolled barley or pellets with the chick started.
Birds would want to be taking from hen 1 week after they start laying again,,think that should do the job for u,correct me if you think im wrong,if you post this in the hunting forum you will have a good response as there are some very experienced people over there.
