Chook Me!

Is flat-iron heater can be used for homemade incubator for lovebird's eggs?

I have some pairs of lovebirds that lay eggs but they just abandoned it afterwards, when I checked them, its fertile but just needed to be incubate, I put some eggs in the other pairs but the rest can't accomodate. I decided to make an incubator and use flat-iron heater. This came to my mind cause of its automatic feature that stop heating when the set heat is reach. Is my idea Ok. please comment.

1. you might have better luck with a light bulb and a box. Your flat iron might get way too hot. try this site http://www.ogpbb.com/accessories/incubators/homemade-incubator.html
2. No,the iron will not hold the correct temperature (100F).You will have to feed the birds as they will not eat on their own.
