I did make a DIY incubator once.
It stabilized out but ultimately I decided on an actual, store bought bator.
That design has one flaw: the light has no barrier. Those chicks could easily suffer for it. Get burned.
You'll want to consider how easy or how hard it will be to clean. It needs a light (25 wattage is best), Hygro meter AND thermometer, a fan (or you can pick a still air bator- but you risk hot spots etc), and ventilation. Also consider a thermostat.
Mine cost me $50 and I didn't add the thermostat.
