We have 4 (started out with 6).
They're really easy to bring up. Make sure you keep them warm (but not to warm!) and out of harms way. They grow quickly so be prepared to give them space as they need it. We used turkey starter until they got bigger then switched to just a regular turkey pellet. I also keep some scratch around to throw it out side for them, they really like it during the winter.
I also wouldn't let them out until they're at least 8 weeks old. They're not the brightest birds around and tend to put them selves is situations that aren't always great (mine like to try to stop cars although none have been hit).
Right now we've got them more or less trained to go inside at night. It took them a while to figure out that at night being inside was a good thing...that's how we lost 2.
They're fun and don't require much work to keep them happy.
