The babies are now two weeks old.

They were getting too crowded in their box,

so we got a second box and split them up.

Seem happy.

The keets are getting bigger. They have little

feathers on their wings. They are definitely not

tame.

We gave them bits of lettuce. A couple of them

really got into it. Others were just jumpy.

Later we gave them spinach. They really liked that.

This is the keets second day.

They haven't changed much, but they have gotten a bit quieter. Only woke us a few times during the night.

That is not litter on the floor. They took all that out of the feeder! Messy things.

There is one chicken that has been hassled horribly by the rooster. The other hens and rooster are in the chicken yard now, but this one did not want to be there, so we let her range. Who knows where she is laying?

This has been a great year for dandelions. Some have just started going to seed.
