With the use of a spinning mechanism that aids in hatching the eggs, an egg incubator is a device that mimics bird incubation by keeping the eggs warm at a specific temperature range and in the proper humidity. A well-designed egg incubator system can achieve excellent hatchability and can hatch a huge number of birds at once. Sets of bulbs may make up the primary heating elements, which are used to heat the incubator so that the eggs can hatch. The microcontroller processed sensor data, and using machine language programming, it engaged various control devices to assist in controlling the incubator’s conditions. An egg incubator that operates consistently, actively, and proficiently will typically be able to produce enough chicken to satisfy the daily protein needs of every household in the modern world.
