Production of chicks on a large scale can be achieved using a/an

To achieve large-scale production of chicks, an incubator is commonly used. An incubator is a device that provides a controlled environment for eggs to hatch into chicks. It replicates the warmth, humidity, and other conditions that a broody hen would naturally provide to her eggs. Eggs can be collected from multiple hens and placed in the incubator, which can hold hundreds or even thousands of eggs at a time. This enables the production of a large number of chicks in a shorter period of time compared to natural hatching. Once hatched, the chicks can be reared for meat or egg production, depending on the breed.
