Yes it is, the lamp and the eggs must be in an insulated box with some means of regulating the temperature. Its probably cheaper and less trouble to buy an incubator. However, some people who are industrious use light bulbs to power their home built incubators utilizing something like an old refrigerator rather than spending hundreds on cabinet type incubators. If you attempt a make shift incubator, use a bulb of less than 60 watts to help avoid fire hazards. My first incubator was a fish tank and a light bulb, while being a lot of trouble to maintain the temp, i had a 50% hatch rate.
