Recall that Snoop the runner duck was on eggs for nearly 4 weeks, only to be ousted by Sally the muscovy. Unfortunately, Sally was a bit to heavy for the hatchlings... I was able to save only two.
A week prior, 8 lavender keets hatched. They are already too big for the indoor coop -- they are flying out of the enclosure, pooping all over the kitchen floor, etc. They will go outside tomorrow and the two duck-incubated keets will get the kiddie-pool-keet-kondo in the kitchen.
Found yet another clutch of eggs outside and put them into the incubator. Those hens sure put up a good fight when it comes to their eggs being stolen -- bruises on the hand, scratches, etc. They seem to forget within hours though.
