My brev is laying eggs and I don't have an incubator other than my DIY incubator incubator that has a blairing light 24/7

What should I do?
 
I don't do brevs (yet!), but I understand that you can just let them sit where they're laid and they will hatch.
 
Hi,
You could get a Hova-bator incubator there about 35-40 bucks, get the one without the fan they work best for chams.
 
If you look at this site you may find that you don't need an incubator for these eggs...

" Eggs have been successfully incubated by leaving them in situ and also by removing them from the tanks and incubating them at room temperatures that varied between 67ºF and 87ºF. Both methods yielded 100% hatching rates. Incubation times were from 60-75 days. Fertilization from retained sperm has been reliably reported (L. Christenson, personal communication)."
 
I always left them in the cage and had a really good hatch rate. With my temporalis, I ended up selling them but leaving the cage set-up and I found babies in it several times.
