No. Chicken eggs not only require a very specific heat that is constant, but they also require humidity. The light bulb would make the air about the egg dry.
Plus, it's unlikely that the egg would hatch being exposed to more foreign bacteria.

∙ 8y agoyes if you let the hen sit on it until hatched.
also if you are thinking of hatching them just under a heat lamp, or in an aquarium, BAD IDEA. They will most likely NOT hatch. Its either the incubator, or the hen.
Answer#2: It is possible to hatch eggs without a hen nor manufactured incubator. Heat lamps are actually good, better than regular lamps. The number of eggs you want to hatch is limited probably 1-3 eggs. But you'll need to meet incubating conditions of temperature and humidity control which will be a difficult task.
Another way, but silly is using your own body. I've also seen people using water heaters by placing a bowl on top of the water in a fish tank while it's heated at a constant temp.

∙ 15y agoYes, allow the broody hen to hatch the chicks naturally. The eggs need certain temperatures and humidity constantly to develop so either natural or artificial incubation must be used...they will not hatch just by leaving them in the sun.

How long do chicks stay in a incubator?
They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.
Will a single bird's eggs ever hatch?
One without a mate? No, the egg needs to be fertilized or the egg would never hatch. Yes, female birds lay eggs on their own but they still need a mate to fertilize the eggs.
If an incubator is turned off for a couple of hours will the eggs still be good?
Drops in temperature are never good but a couple of hours will not significantly effect the hatch. The broody hen will sometimes not be able to return to her clutch in a coop and incubating egg temperatures can drop by as much as 10 degrees before she resumes her vigil. To many drops however can delay hatch and if the temperatures drop to chilled the eggs can cease all growth activity.
What temperature do chicken eggs need to be kept at so that they hatch?
The ideal temperature for hatching chickens or ducks in an incubator is between 99.5F and 100.5F. The temperature is not the only consideration as the humidity must be right also. Eggs should be at a 55% humidity rate through to the 18th day and raised to better than 65% during the final days.
If an egg doesn't hatch what does a chicken do with it?
It is usually the chicks that do hatch that deal with this problem, they will push the egg out of the nest.
Can you hatch ostrich egg in still air incubator?
If you can hatch a regular egg in there then you can hatch an ostrich egg.
If the chicken eggs were at room temp for a couple hours can it still hatch in an incubator if it is fertilized?
yes it can

My Pokemon GO egg says I have done 5km but when I click on it it says 0km?
The numbers may have rounded up to 5km without fully reaching it. Walk around some more and your egg should hatch if it's still in its incubator.
Can a chick hatch naturally by itself with only a chicken?
Use an incubator. small incubators are readily available and home built incubators are easy to make.
What is the difference between a still air and forced air incubator?
still air incubator is no fan . force air have fan
Why does a hen sit on her egg?
For the chicks in the eggs to develop and hatch properly, the eggs must be kept warm. The chicken's body heat keeps them warm. If the eggs are taken away from the hen and still meant to hatch, they are kept in an incubator to maintain the right temperature. If they aren't meant to hatch, the are refrigerated. This stops the development of the chick. Supermarket eggs aren't usually fertilized so there isn't a chick to develop, but they are still refrigerated to keep them fresh.
Is robin gibb still living?
YES! Robin is still alive & still living!
What happens if you dont have an incubater and you still want to hatch an egg?
An incubator is generally a compartment with a controlled atmosphere. If an oven is set at particular warmth, about 50 to 100 degrees, it should substitute. The animal and its natural habitat should determine temperature.
How do you control the humidity in a incubator?
if your using a real incubator, you just fill up the moisture rings. if its still too low, place a bowl of warm water beside the eggs
When you put an egg in a refrigerator will a egg still hatch?
no because it has to be warm to hatch:)
Can dove eggs be left out the nest and still hatch?
