Is it possible?

In the summer when the temps are high-ish, would it be possible to "incubate" eggs without having a hen sit on them and simply leaving them out in the coop?

I mean obviously the humidty would be off and the temp not quite right, but I just saw Speckledhens post on her 1 day of development eggs and I wondered "Could they develop at a warm temp without a hen?"

They would probably start to develop but during the nights the temp would drop and the eggs wouldnt get turned like they were supposed to. I highly doubt that you could do it. Even if you could it would take more work turning it and stuff like that than just putting it in the bator
