Cheapest Incubator?

[MonkeyZero]

Hiya

I am in need of some help

I know a man who lives a few blocks away and breeds SQ seramas (thats what he says). He is willing to give me as many eggs as I want, whenever I want for free. Now
Our budget is SUPER tight. I mean my parents look for the cheapest things
I am, in no way, good at building things. So building an incubator is out

Is there anywhere, or anysite that has SUPER cheap incubators. I really need one for only a couple of eggs(like 3). However, if it comes with a turner that is ok too!
Now like I said, budget. I cant go over $20-25
SO can anyone help?

Thanks

mmm...I don't know. The cheapest I would say is a homemade bator.

I'm OK at putting stuff together if I have the right materials, but wiring things is where I am terrible at!

I couldn't wire a thermostat in an incubator if my life depended on it!

And here's my opinion; if it has steady temps. at 99-101*F and humidity is right and steady, and if it is safe, then an egg can be incubated in it. I've heard of people incubating eggs in a bra, skillet, etc...No idea how, but I guess it can work. That's also a cheap option.

Good luck! Try looking in online ads, such as eBay, Uncle Henry's, Craigslist, etc.

We have this one: https://www.gqfmfg.com/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=273. It's $17 with free shipping--but, I've heard some bad reviews and it seems to be a case of you get what you pay for. Since your eggs are free, though, I would give it a try. The next step up is over $50, which was out of our budget.

I heard that incubator is warmed by a lightbulb. But it is definitely cheap!

Check on C.L. If there isn't one for sale, place an ad on there stating what you are wanting. We just got a hovabator for $25 by some guy answering an ad I placed wanting an incubator.

Maybe you could borrow one? I'm sure someone would let you use theirs in exchange for a chick. Or maybe your school has an FFA chapter? Those kids tend to be pretty handy. They might be able to whip you up one, and then you could donate it to a science classroom when you're done!
