1. Get a bunch of chicken butts and lay them on top of the eggs.
2. google it, ask around, call your vet may the eggs be with you.
3. For now just wrap them in towels and set on heating pad or shine heat lamp on them..at least till you make one.. http://www.herpcam.com/incubator.htm... http://www.feathersite.com/poultry/incbu... http://www2.gsu.edu/~biojdsx/fowl/incub.... there are some sites... Make sure you turn the eggs at LEAST 2-3 times a day... you SHOULD use gloves to turn the eggs...but you don't HAVE to...i didn't and they turned out fine..but not all of them hatched, Have fun!!
4. Ok use a box. then put some hamster bedding in it or use hay. Make some small holes to stick light bulbs in. The light will keep them warm. Or if you can't get the light bulbs in here to warm it while kepping the box shut, use a heated blanket and put the bedding on top of it. then put the eggs on that. but don't crank the heat way up!! or else to will kill the eggs. just make it slightly warm. check on the eggs several times a day to see if they are over heated or to cold. you could use a shoe box, but that depends on how many eggs you have.
5. An old fridge with an infrared lightbulb hung into it and a thermo-switch (set for 38° C) makes the perfect incubator . Don't forget to turn the eggs over twice a day and cover them with a damp cloth 3 days before they are due.
6. Great! Get some chicken eggs and sit on them. Then when they hatch, feed them to Sylvia G's cat.
