There are some fantastic idea's in Katie Thear's book "Incubation a guide to hatching & rearing." :)

If you are doing it for the first time it's well worth getting as it covers everything :D

 i found that the plans on there to make a simple incubater came to a grand cost of about 75 pound . witch makes it beter to go and buy one of ebay for 45 pound.
