i seriously need help in designing an egg incubator for chicken, equally need the schematic diagram,list of the components involved for the design,the working principle behind it and equally the design of the thermostat and the sensoring device.
I will be glad if an answer can be given to me.

For everything you're asking for, I would be happy to design and build it for your...for a price of course. But then, it would probably be cheaper for you to just buy one.
What is the thermal time constant of an egg? If it's long, you could have a heater on-off cycle of minutes (the duty cycle will determine temp).
Does the incubator environment have a controlled temp? If not, your heater/thermostat will need to be upsized.
How high above room ambient do these chicks like?
You need a bang-bang controller or something more sophisticated?
What the heck is a thermal time constant of an egg?
Most bio incubators run at a fixed temp of 38 Deg C. Humidity should be low which is another issue. I would assume the OP needs to make an environment close to above parameters.
Hardly sounds like an Eng class project, more like a bio project if any.

Moreover incubator chickens will ask you where is our mother,where is our mother like that - which can be too irritating I think so. A more feasible solution can be found here :

It's related to the specific heat and the shape. If it's low and the egg were shaped like a finned heat sink the egg would respond to every little environmental temp. variation.
If the inside of the egg is mostly liquid it will have a higher specific heat and will be slow to respond. Also, a sphere has the minimum surface area for a given enclosed volume so it's slow to transfer heat to the air and so it's slow to respond.
You could use a 100W light bulb but be ware these might not be available if the global warming squad get their way.
What a load of retards, there are plenty of reasons for wanting a wasteful incandescent, banning them is a BS idea, they should perhaps tax them more but not ban them.
