Incubator?

Question

Why are incubators so expensive? I only want an rcom mini (that holds 3 eggs) and its £119 cheapest is £69.99 on ebay but I can't afford that does anyone have a used one or something?

Answer 1

Try making your own. Here are the plans for making one that is very cheap ($10). You may need to modify plans slightly from 110V to 220V being as you are from England, but that would be no problem. Good luck.

Answer 2

I would defently try ebay.

They have the best prices (so cheap) and you can find anything, I see you live in UK though I live in USA and we do money differ. so i dont know how much you are saying for example around here a incubator would be $50.00

Answer 3

you can cheat like we did when I was a kid with a thermometer and a clamp on light from the hardware store,(no cheating on the light w/60 watt or better depending on the size of the space needed) Inside a cardboard box, you will just have to check the temp. a bit to ensure that you've it at about 101 degrees Fahrenheit you will want to have a water source to have the humidity at about 60%. turn them once a day is all we did and you should have success. good luck.
