| This "holding area" teaches keets where they are to eat, sleep, and drink while providing an area that is safe for introduction to an existing flock without pecking. Birds sharing a house will soon learn that each other "belongs" so that when they are eventually released, any pecking order will be minimal. |

A divided brooding area in a heated part of the
nursery works well for keets of different ages.
