Lady's you can go to incubating to get a lot of help

But you can also use a dresser dourer for an incubator a light bulb will work as a heat source and something to measure the level of heat and try to keep the temp at 99.5 and over 97 degrees on the low side and under 101 degrees on the high side and if you have a small bowl of water for humidity put one in good luck on you poultry endeavors .

Are you sure the eggs are fertile - they should have a bulls eye on the yolk not, just a little white dot.
