i did a quick search on bay for you, and it doesnt look like incubators are cheap at all: http://home-garden.search.ebay.co.uk/incubator_Poultry-Hatching-Incubation_W0QQfromZR34QQsacatZ46292 The cheapest I could find was this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-RCOM-3-INCUBATOR-POULTRY-HATCHING-EGGS-EASTER-CHICK_W0QQitemZ190201788931QQihZ009QQcategoryZ46292QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The cheapest one I could find was this one when I was looking into it as I wouldn't mind getting one. http://www.hometrainingtools.com/catalog/life-science-biology/animals/cat_quail-eggs-incubators.html I also have two chickens in the back yard but would like to hatch quail.
Try the paper Cage and Aviary or Fur and Feather,you can order these from your newsagent if he does not stock them.
Why don't you just let the chickens hatch them?? Any kind of incubator that you try to make is gonna be hard. The eggs have to be turned just right at certain times. Humidity, and temp are extremely important or you will just cook the eggs. Incubators are an expensive item.
i got 2 sites but they all chep but if i found more then i'll contact youhttp://www.smarter.com/---se--qq-incubators--pt-0--tt-.html this is the cheapish one i can find and it very low like max is 190.00 and min 10.00
use the heat from the airing cupboard trust me it really works,,,,good luck,,,,,,,,,,,,
