they did not mind me taking the keets. it never occurred to me actually, like it would have had i been taking chicks away from a mama hen!! THAT i would not have done. i kept second-guessing my decision to bring them inside to raise, seems to go against nature and i had a high mortality rate with the 5 adults i have now (the tough survivors of what started out as 32 day old keets) so was quite worried i would do a worse job than the guinea would.
so far though, i have not lost one, they are quite active, eat and drink well and are pretty quiet now that they have all learned how to eat and drink. there are still 4 eggs unhatched that i assume will not be viable will remove those today i think.

this pic was yesterday (wednesday) i think all 16 are in there.
