Need advice on hatching eggs

Hi all,
I'm after some hatching eggs, the only problem is that incubators are so espensive and I only need it once for 6 - 12 eggs. Is there another way to incubate the eggs for e.g. (wrapped up in an aering cupboard or somewhere that sells REALLY cheap incubators). I already have chickens but there too young to get broody at the mo.

Any advice would be muchly appreciated
DJ

Incubators are quite expensive -and for 6 to 12 eggs only you might be able to find someone local who has a hen from a breed who are reliably broody, if it is a silkie for example wont take long!!!
