Nowhere else this would go and it is an electric device.

I took a broken refrigerator and turned it into an incubator 3 weeks ago using various parts I had on hand. I used a PID controller to turn on and off two 25 watt light bulbs to maintain the temperature between 99.3-99.7 deg F. I also took a humidifier and switched it off and on to maintain 50% humidity for the first 18 days then 65% for the last 3. I used part of a hot dog cooker to turn them throughout the day.

This is pretty much it except for the extra light and auto humidity control.

After 10 days this is the chick forming and moving around inside.

And after the very long 21 days they take this is what a 4 year old looks like holding a baby chick that is an hour old.
