The invention discloses a device and method for automatically controlling a poultry incubator. By adopting an industrial PC machine which has abundant software resources, complex industrial algorithmanalysis and modular development are achieved, and by adopting the industrial PC machine and a remote client, remote monitoring and control of the incubator are achieved, the labor cost is reduced, and the efficiency is improved; since the temperature and humidity play a decisive role in the hatching rate, stable control of the temperature and humidity of the incubator can be achieved by adoptingfuzzy control, so that the environment inside the incubator achieves dynamic balance, and the hatching rate is increased; automation of egg moving, chick moving and egg shell picking can be achieved through an image pickup device and moving arms; an added chick breeding waiting room is used for automatically transferring chicks from a chick outlet room to the chick breeding waiting room, and afterthe quantity of the chicks reaches a certain number, the chicks are moved to a chick breeding room uniformly by a worker, so that the workload, the number of times of incubator opening and the noisegenerated by the chicks in the chick outlet room are reduced, and the hatching rate and survival rate are increased.
