They are rather delicate and require heated quarters during the winter months. Palawans should be kept in aviaries that are rich with cover and live plants. Hens have been known to incubate their own eggs in such an environment. Many keepers have found that Palawan chicks are difficult to teach to eat. In a brooder situation, a shallow dish with mealworms and other small insects will encourage the chicks to eat.
Live food is a favorite food throughout the growing process and adult birds also enjoy the treat.
Mealworms can be dusted with vitamin supplements such as Vionate. Palawans should also be offered chopped greens and other vegetables often at all stages of life.
