Twelve of fourteen have hatched so far and all are doing fine except for one who has not straightened out its feet. It hobbles around and is eating and drinking but those feet could really be an issue if they don't start working. I have checked them and see no deformities and they open just fine when I run my finger across the bottom of the feet. Maybe the little fella will eventually figure out how to use them.

Cute pics. Hopefully the little one will be ok. Maybe its got leg cramps from being balled up inside its egg for 28 days!
 
The runt is starting to use it's feet and is getting around pretty well. It is only about half the size of the other keets but is eating and drinking just fine. I had to help one out of the shell and I think this might be the one.

Dang... I had no idea keets were so fiesty and vocal.
