Hatching abandoned chicken eggs is crucial for embryo survival and chick development, requiring optimal temperature and humidity levels. Fluctuations can lead to developmental issues or low hatch rates. There are existing solutions, such as placing the abandoned egg under another brooding hen. However, since not all eggs can be covered by another brooding hen, the option of a do-it-yourself incubator arises, allowing for the incubation of multiple eggs until more convenient technologies emerge, leading to the invention of more advanced incubators. The proponents proposed enhancing such incubators with a camera-assisted candling device and automated features. These enhancements were inspired by existing solutions discovered during online research, this system efficiently selects fertile eggs and ensures precise conditions. Its mobile application allows remote monitoring, as long as they have internet connectivity. The proponents are motivated by a strong desire to improve egg hatching by developing an automatic incubator. The system aims for precise conditions and automated detection, optimizing efficiency and success rates. This innovation not only improves hatching success rates but also contributes to the welfare of the chicks.
