well i bought it about 2 years ago from countrywide. had fantastic success with it, successfully hatched 10 pekin chicks from 10 eggs and 6 from 8 ducks. last used it about 3 months ago. it runs at 38.5 degrees c for hens and 38 degrees c for ducks. it has 2 reservoirs which need filling up about once every 3-4 days or so and has an automatic cradle which does all the hard work for you.
