In this paper, the egg fertilisation is one of the major factors to be considered in the poultry farms. The smart incubation system is designed to combine the IoT technology with the smart phone in order to make the system more convenient to the user in monitoring and operation of the incubation system. The incubator is designed first with both setter and the hatcher in one unit and incorporating both still air incubation and forced air incubation which is a controller and monitored by the controller keeping in mind the four factors: temperature, humidity, ventilation and egg turning system. Here we are setting with three different temperatures for the experimental purpose at T1 = 36.5°C, T2 = 37.5°C and T3 = 38°C. The environment is maintained same in all the three cases and which is the best temperature for the incubation of the chicken eggs is noted.
