Well our girl finally laid her eggs. We are so proud and hope they are fertile but if not it has been a good experience. Our youngest child was outside and noticed she had dug a hole and was straining above it. We rushed into action to the tractor supply to buy an incubator and to lowes for a thermometer with a humidity gauge. We are happy!

congrats. Just make sure to secure those eggs so they dont roll when you open the lid. And hope you guys find the vermiculite down yonder. :) good luck.

She's got a pic of the incubator up top. Is this good enough? The eggs are just laying on the wire grid. The heat is holding steady at about 87 degrees and 65-70% humidity. If we do have it wrong is it ok to move the eggs or just leave them alone?
