My bantam Sultan decided to give me a Christmas present. She'd maybe layed 7 eggs in her life, and today I found a clutch of 5 eggs that accumulated while we were away for Christmas. It's been cold here, as low as 15 outside some nights although they were in a barn in hay, and there is a heat lamp in there but it's a few feet from the nest. She hadn't been sitting on them and they felt cold. I think i'll give them a go in the incubator since it's empty anyway, but i'm wondering how likely it is that any will hatch. The funny thing is none of my good egg layers have layed in weeks.
