"moyen de celle du feu ordinaire"", or ""The art of hatching and rearing domestic birds of all species in all seasons, either by means of the heat of manure or by means of ordinary fire"". Lyman Byce created a coal lamp incubator in 1879. The first commercial machine was made by Hearson in the year of 1881. The incubator is an apparatus that is used for environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, that needs to be controlled. It is often used for growing bacterial cultures, hatching eggs artificially, or providing suitable conditions for a chemical or biological reaction. The"

Three days before the eggs are scheduled to hatch, they are moved into a hatcher unit, where they are no longer turned so the embryos have time to get properly oriented for their exit from the shell, and the temperature and humidity are optimum for hatching. Once the eggs hatch and the chicks are a few days old, they are often vaccinated.

Many industrial producers use traditional Single-Stage machines, but REAL Single-stage is available. Modern incubators are electrically heated with a thermostat. Incubators can be used in a farmhouse, such as a large chicken raising facilities, or they can be found in a common classroom for students to observe the egg inside and when it hatches. Some industrial incubators are large enough to hold up to 124,416 eggs, and"

Chicken eggs are recorded to hatch after about 21 days, but other species of birds can take a longer or shorter amount of time. Incubators are also used to raise birds. An incubator should be able to set the perfect environment and condition for an egg to incubate because it regulates the factors such as temperature, humidity, and turning the eggs when necessary. This is so that the egg"

Setters often hold more than one hatch, on a staggered hatch-day basis, and operate continuously. The setter phase lasts about 18 days. On or about day 18, the eggs are removed from the setters and transferred to ""hatchers"".

"Hatchery A hatchery is a facility where eggs are hatched under artificial conditions, especially those of fish or poultry. It may be used for ex-situ conservation purposes, i.e. to breed rare or endangered species under controlled conditions; alternatively, it may be for economic reasons (i.e. to enhance food supplies or fishery resources). Fish hatcheries are used to cultivate and breed a large number of fish in an enclosed environment. Fish farms use hatcheries to cultivate fish to sell for food, or ornamental purposes, eliminating the need to find the fish in the wild and even providing some species outside their"

The order of the three eggs pushed out of the nest can be cycled left or right using the X and O buttons, respectively. The current row can be changed with the up and down directions on the dpad allowing them to be re-inserted on a different row to form lines of matching eggs.

As a commercial example, a large hatcher has capacity for 15,840 eggs, and measures about 3.3 metres by 1.8 metres. Some incubators are single-stage (combining setter and hatcher funcations), and entire trolleys of eggs can be rolled in at one time. One advantage of single-stage machines is that they are thoroughly cleaned after each hatch, whereas a setter is rarely shutdown for cleaning. The single-stage environment can be adjusted for eggs from different producing flocks, and for each step of the hatch cycle. The setter environment"

With this artificial selection it is possible to obtain a more disease-resistant and size bearing offspring that makes the commercialization of goat derivatives viable.

Broodstocks provided higher numbers of larvae and could be spawned readily providing a more definite source of Sydney rock oysters. Global production of rainbow trout, ""Oncorhynchus mykiss"", requires over 3 billion eggs per year. This number is met because of broodstocks which undergo selection and conditioning in hatcheries.

The recorded data was duplicated on magnetic tape, and fed into a SILLIAC computer. The tape data assisted"
