Description
An egg incubator is a device simulating avian incubation by keeping the eggs warm at a particular temperature
range and in the correct humidity with the help of a turning mechanism that assists to hatch the eggs. A well
develops an improved egg incubator system that is capable of hatching an enormous number of chickens at a time
and attaining high hatchability. The main heating elements may consist of sets of bulbs, which are used in
providing the warmth needed in the incubator for hatching the eggs. Data from the sensors was processed by the
microcontroller and the various control elements were activated to help in moderating the condition in the incubator
using machine language programming. An egg incubator with consistent, active, and proficient operation normally
has the capabilities of providing sufficient poultry chicken which can oblige every household in the world
nowadays with enough quantity of protein on daily basis.
