You can make an incubator fairly cheap. Go on Craigslist and look for or place an ad for a non-working or working frig or one of the coca-cola coolers they have at the registers in Wal~Mart,
When you get it home if you know what you are doing just start gutting all the extra stuff, compressor, lights ect. until all you have is the outer shell. You can get heat tape and a basic Alife Thermostat in the classifieds on this site for next to nothing, then see if you can find a small computer fan wired for 110 volts and that should be enough to get your incubator running. Drill holes for your wires, tape flex watt/heat tape down the back wall of the frig, mount the computer fan on one of the sides away from were you are going to attach the probe for the thermostat. Then attach the probe from the thermostat away from the fan and the heat tape/flexwatt about the middle of the incubator. Seal the holes with any kind of caulk then plug the heat source into the thermostat set on 88-90 till you see how accurate it is, plug the fan in and there you go.

Sounds harder than it is... I have some pictures and I also have a really simple Rubbermaid tote style incubator you could use if you are to close to her laying eggs to get the frig-O-bator done
Hit me up in Connect or you can just message me if I can help. Good luck.
