If it is a cockerel I would think BUSTer would be good   I have a friend named Tita, that may work for a pullet

I just read opening page of this post, along with a few replies.
There have been threads on this site every year or two about someone attempting to incubate eggs in their bra.
Sometimes it's referred to as a bra-bator.

Here's one thread:  https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1825/egg-in-bra-moving-but-its-day-24

Most of the time it hasn't been successful because the temperature in a bra would be too low.  I just checked mine and got a reading 96.5*F.  Insulating the egg may not help, because it is distancing the egg from the heat source, which would probably drop the temperature another degree. I think it would be better to have the egg in direct contact with the skin.  I think in one of the other threads I read, the eggs eventually developed cracks and didn't hatch.

I sure do  applaud those who try. 

Here's a post I found in another thread.  The OP had one hatch and another poster had a few hatch: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/238309/my-bra-baby-is-here-pic/50#post_2820234

"The OP had one hatch and another poster had a few hatch." Hooray!!! So there is hope for the Boobsie twins! Gotta' think positive.

I have two in the bator right now. I would be afraid to put them in my bra. I am such a clutz I would end up falling on them! Poor things.

With the lower human body temp (rather than hen temp) it may take a few days extra. I hope OP is feeling better and will post again soon. Fingers crossed!
