For all you would save would be pennys.Your better off going for the day old chicks unless your trying to prove your incubator works.But you will lose more money in the long run so buy the day old chicks and your success rate will be higher best of luck.

Hey,
something which might help would be a tempstat
These will measure the temp and control the heatsource. One plug. They also help on the energy bills.
Some suit light bulbs while some suit ceramic heaters, or even heat matts.
These are Used normally for reptiles but its the same idea.

The website are more expensive then others but have the full selection. you will find others at a cheaper price.

pm me if you want to know any details on them. i have one.

ps
I know it might be a little expensive but they are great at keeping a set temp.
