Now I know why I've been lazy about cleaning spider webs inside my house: I've always wanted to be sure I had a steady supply of food for the keets when they arrived. Today I cleaned out the entire house of spiders (at least the ones I could find) and gave the keets quite a feast. They were acting like the hadn't had food for days; the spiders didn't have a chance.
There are 8 keets with #9 stuck in the shell still. Looks like this one isn't going to make it. The other eggs show no sign of hatching. I learned from another owner who also had the eggs flown in that only 25% of her eggs hatched as well, so it looks like this is it for this flock.
Tomorrow I'll cull the stuck keet, and begin determining why the other eggs didn't hatch.
