Incubator

A box-like structure with insulation and provisions for controlling its interior temperature. The incubator is used for hatching chicken, turkey, duck, or goose eggs. Before the availability of electricity to farms, coal oil lamps were used to heat water circulating by convection through pipes around the perimeter of the brooder. A thermostat caused a damper to open and close and either trap or let hot air escape from the lamp chimney.
