Any Christmas / Dec 2012 Hatch a long's?

[SilkieSensation]

Just found this thread. I have babies due this week as well. I hatched 1 scovie baby the 19th (it didn't make it) & 2 quail on the 20th (lost 1 of those), have more scovies due today & 24th but they may be late. Development looks a bit behind due to a few temp drops & a power outage. I also had some chicks set for the 23rd, but they don't look too promising at this point. The next batch after Christmas isn't due until New Year's Day & then staggered over about 2 weeks after. Right now I have 1 lonely quail baby in the brooder so praying it gets some friends very soon.

I collected that one either on the 31st or the first and put it in the incubator on the second with the rest

Lynzi, I'm happy you got a chick already!! How many eggs does that broody hen have?

Thanks, I am too!! LOL Well she's was sitting on 6 however I am 99% sure the 6th eggs was empty. So when I was cleaning out her box/candling eggs one day and saw that there was really nothing inside, I removed that eggs from the "nest". Well she didn't like that too much. She went clucking away, jumped/flew out of the box and began looking around my laundry room for it! So I hurried up and placed it back and she went back to being happy. There are 4 more that definitely had something in them when I candled last. If at least one more hatches I'll be happy.
