1. YOu can find supplies to build one at any hard ware store.You can easily build one, your only thing is that you usually can't build a egg turner and have to rotate the egss reularly...Check with you local feed store/co op......you could try Petsmart but I am not sure they carry these, also you can google it, and you may find some stores where you can order by phone.
2. What i do is i put the chicken eggs in a basket and i go to wal-mart and buy 150 watts flood light the red ones and hover the light over the eggs but not to close so they wont burn up and just let them!!!! :D Hope this works
3. Go to your local farm/feed store. For what all the parts and bits would cost, you can find a 'Hova - Bator' incubator. If you add bells and whistles like an automatic tuner, hygrometer, etc. it can be expensive. The no frills basic will do the job for less. I've had my little plain jane hova-bator for 30 years and it's still good to go. I used it hatching all my show chicks, quail and pheasants. I bought it for $30 so that works out to a dollar a year. That sounds cheap to me...
4. Sorry animal lover it will not hatch eggs. If with an incubator and following the instructions to a "T" there are still things that hamper the proper hatch. Go to this site then contact them at the bottom of the page or phone them at the 800 #.
