    I am out at the moment so can't get photos but we haven't used a fountain. Basically we went and got a plastic bath tub from a builders yard. Apparently used for mixing plaster dug the hole and filled with water. Where we live we have natural springs so a spring runs in and it can drain...

    First ever hatch... Can't wait.

    For my birthday I knew I was getting an incubator but I had to have it the night before so I could set it up and leave it running over night. Then my birthday morning came and I chose my eggs. I ended up with 24 in total and I set them going. All I have to do now it wait. I am hatching...

    Thank you. I am now going to move the eggs to a shed I have which is underground so it is cool but not too cold! I can't wait to put them in.
