There's some good news and bad news. First the bad news.
The keets are continuing to establish pecking order, in a big way. One has a big scab on his neck, and two others have bloody toes. Kerrie and I saw YT bullying Rotisserie. He's definitely top dog. This is normal behaviour, so I try not to get bothered by it. They are otherwise acting normally and growing -- the helmets are showing through now, and the wattles are growing in more as well as darkening.
The good news is... out of the 10 remaining eggs from the original 22, 2 have hatched, and 4 others are pipping! They are a bit darker than the first batch, and as cute as ever, even when they are still wet.
