Incubators are what i'm using for my first season, I made my own incubator and feel it is the best/safest way for my eggs since I don't want to loose anything!
Cost:
Coca cola fridge: 50
Thermostat: 118
Incubator Fan: 20
Shelving: 20
5 Egg Boxes and medium: 10
Heat tape: had extra
Total: 218
This incubator will hold 16 clutches comfortably with not much temp fluctuation. Cost less than a Pinstripe Female!! I'm a beginner breeder but I still feel that incubation, cutting eggs and using mediums are a great way to 1. better your clutches, and 2. cause less deaths.
