In Reply to: Nesting Box and Breeding posted by Mariah on May 21, 2003 at 20:02:32:

: Hello, I have two keets, a boy and a girl. I was wondering how big a nesting box should be, and if it is possible to make one. We think my female, Blue Belle, may be pregnant because she has gained a bit of weight. Also, how old do keets have to be to breed. Belle's cere is a crusty brown. Any information would be helpful!
: Thank you!

Mariah,
Nest boxes need to be about 6 1/2"deep x 6"wide x 7 1/2" tall. Make sure the bottom has a slight concave in the bottom so the eggs don't roll into the corner and get stuck. They are quiet easy to make but it is best to purchase your first one to give you a pattern.
Keets need to be at least 8months of age to breed and where Belle's cere is a crusty brown she is ready.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Jodi
