Check your local feed store - they sell the Hovs for about $35 - get either the basic unit or the picture window one if you like to watch - but NOT the one with the fan. I would suggest however that you do invest in a good thermostat - I use a Helix ($135). Remove the wafer from the Hov and allow your thermostat to run the heat. I would also recommend setting it up before the eggs are laid so you can tweak it if necessary. Put some water bottles on the sides of the egg tub to help stabilize temperatures through incubation. And put it in a room that has fairly stable temps as well.
