The development of egg incubation chamber using split unit air conditioning give the breeders to produce eggs in chickens in large quantities without using the chicken hen. This system is more focused on poultry farming. The objective of this study is to develop an egg incubator chamber using a split unit air conditioning and determine its functionality. This study is a product design study. The design of this study was developed based on the ADDIE model design. Development begins with the design process, component material splitting, assembly, testing, finishing and evaluation. In order to ensure that the machine developed achieves the objective, the researcher has selected three individuals for skilled and experienced in the field of HVAC and poultry farming as an expert in the evaluation process. It involves three main aspects of the suitability of the design, functionality, and suitability of the model for the actual product. Evaluation is based on the model developed using the questionnaire. As a result of the analyzed analysis findings, 8 eggs have hatched from 30 eggs. Besides that, researchers found that assessors provide positive feedback and constructive comments for future improvements. Overall, it can be concluded that the objectives and questions of the study are achieved based on the data and feedback from the experts. The conclusion that the incubation of egg incubation chamber using split unit air conditioning units can provide ideas and concepts to the outside industry in producing products that they want to market or commercialize
