looking for advice on temp hatcher

[Newbydoo]

So I am ending up with 3 different batch of eggs in my incubator. only 3 of 12 were viable (batch 1) so I filled the empty spots with new ones and only 2 are viable so of course I added more for those empty spots and I can't tell yet if those are fertilized for a few more days. now I need to make a temporary hatcher for the first batch of 3 eggs since they are going on lock down in a few days... Any quick way of making one?.. I don't have wood but do have a small cooler.. any help is appreciated thank you

You may be asking about a BROODER, not hatcher.
A small cooler is somewhat small.
You need something larger, like a large cardboard box. But there is a slight danger using cardboard. Your brooder needs a source of heat to keep new-hatched chicks warm. A safe alternative is one of these.

Feed store like Tractor Supply would carry similar in their stores, cash and carry.

Thank you, but what I meant is I need to take the 3 going in lockdown out before they hatch and place them in another container to hatch.

All hatching usually happens inside incubator. Not sure how your method is structured.
Once they hatch, and dry out and fluff up, they are placed in a brooder, where they are kept warm.
A broody hen will keep her new-hatched chicks under her wings to keep them warm.
