Poultry is the kind of bird farming in which birds like geese, ducks, chickens, and turkeys are domesticated to produce eggs and meat for the food. Of these birds, chickens are the most consumed bird by the people. The chickens which are grown up for eggs are called layers and chickens for meat are known as broilers. Hatching eggs naturally by the hens is considered a big problem for poultry farmers. Hatching the eggs fast by using the technology can produce more chicks. To hatch the eggs by technology, a hatching incubator is implemented by using the Internet of Things (IoT), temperature sensor, humidity sensor, NodeMCU, servo motor, and Blynk cloud. Egg hatching manually by hens takes approximately 20 to 21 days. An automatic hatching system will reduce the number of days required for hatching. The cloud displays the data of the incubator like temperature, degree of rotation of egg tray, humidity, and the ON or OFF conditions of the light, fan, and humidifier.
