I got some from a $2 shop. I think they are plaster of paris or something. Very real though. They are breakable and probably not as durable as plastic but I was desperate at the time. :-D

For the first time I have purchased an incubator for my peafowl eggs only because last year was a disaster and I ended up with only 1 chick from 8 hatched. I lost 7 because of bad mothering and I was not happy with the girls so I will take half the eggs away and use the new incubator so not all my eggs are in 1 basket so to speak

I decided on golf balls much easier to get and replace if needed

This will be my first year using an incubator also I hope it gives me 50% more ducklings this season as that is my hope
