Boxes need to be made of wood and bamboo for the placement of bamboo cylinders in the room (length of 5 feet and a width of 1.5 feet is sufficient to accommodate 5 cylinders). Then the cylinder should be filled with scrub around it and the cylinder cover should be covered with cloth and coating. Many, instead of cylinders, bamboo-wood, and briquettes make the bed to a height of 1.5-5.5 feet from the floor and heat the egg on the bed with a hurricane underneath the bed.
Eggs are covered with a coating to store heat. The hurricane should be filled with oil and salted to keep it hydrated. It should be kept in the cylinder for 4-5 hours before the hurricane is placed in the cylinder and the heat is raised (100 ° F). The hatching bed is made of wood and bamboo, just a few feet (2.5-5.5 feet) above the box made for hatching. Then lay the mat on it and spread some mat on it. Keep the cloth or coating ready for it. Hatching beds can also be done in separate locations. Hatching beds can be prepared either with one or 2-5 shelves. To control/measure the temperature (5 ° F) of the cylinder and hatching bed, the thermometer and egg embryo should be equipped with a light source torchlight or egg candle ready for egg selection.
