Default Red Foot Breeding Size/Age?

So I have two females(one weed on my toe this morning lol) and two males we think. The biggest is around 6 inches. What size will I see the females start to be ready for breeding-so I can prepare an incubator? Obviously the first few usually aren't fertile. On a side note, I have a large poly box(about 1 by 2ft by 1ft), would I be able to convert this into a homemade incubator-I have been inspired by a thread on RFUK.

Never heard of a Northern female laying before 10 inches and my females waited till they were 12 inches to lay.

Ok, gives me lenty of time then. What about my incubator idea then? I can get everything for about £45 and it would give me so much more space in there than a normal one.
