<![CDATA[The hen will naturally incubate the eggs to carry out the hatching process. However, natural hatching has a small percentage of success, and the egg incubation can only be conducted with a maximum number of 10 eggs. This study aims to design and implement an egg incubator to increase chicken production. This research uses the design method and experimental method. Testing tools are divided into 3 types, namely temperature testing, humidity testing, and egg-hatching testing. The research result is an automatic egg incubator using an Arduino microcontroller. The incubator uses several electronic components: Arduino, DHT 22 sensor, RTC DS 1307 module, heater, cooler fan, and humidifier. The temperature test is very good, with a temperature range of 38.50C-390C. The humidity test is very good, with a humidity range of 55%-60%. The egg-hatching test was classified as very good, with an efficiency value of 90%. Based on the tests, the egg incubator belongs to the very good category and can be applied to increase chicken production.]]>
