The Egyptians had a method of incubating in 400 BC, using a cylindrical building or oven that had a fire
at the bottom. The eggs that were incubating were placed on an inverted cone that was partially
covered in ash. The eggs were placed in a woven basket that sat on top of the ashes. The building also
had a roof that allowed smoke to escape, but it kept the rain out.[2] Egyptian egg ovens are typically
brick structures in a pyramidal shape, with two internal chambers.[3]

Controlled scientific incubation required the accurate and repeatable measurement of temperature,
such as the alcohol-based thermometer proposed by the French naturalist and scientist René Antoine
Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730,[4] and the temperature scale named after him.

Réaumur used the thermometer in his design for an artificial incubator, presented to the Académie des
sciences in 1747, and published in 1749 as l’Art de faire éclore et d'élever en toute saison des oiseaux
domestiques de toutes espèces, soit par le moyen de la chaleur du fumier, soit par le 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.[5] The first commercial machine was made by
Hearson in the year of 1881.[6]
Ira M. Petersime of Gettysburg, Ohio, USA is credited with inventing the electric egg incubator in 1922.
[7] Shortly thereafter he and his son, Ray, began manufacturing the incubators.[8] They were granted
numerous patents on design features and subsequent improvements. The innovation of the electrically
powered incubator with expanded capacity (early on Petersime offered a model holding 15,000 eggs)
encouraged the growth of large scale commercial hatcheries.[9]
