I would like to hatch a few ducks, but incubators are soo expensive. Dose anyone know how to make a good incubator with cheap parts. I just need it to hatch 10 eggs. Thank you for your time.

There are lots of good guides to make an incubator here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/homemade-chicken-egg-incubator-designs-pictures

You can make a fairly inexpensive one out of a foam cooler - I made my first incubator that way and it was a great incubator for years until my thermostat went wonky.

Thanks I will try this. Did it work good?

Yep! It was a great incubator until my old thermostat just gave out and stopped telling the light to switch off.
