Eggs covered with quilts can hatch chickens in a few days.

Cover the eggs with a quilt, and the chicks can hatch in 2 1 day.

Chickens hatch, originally a natural process, which is completed by hens alone, without human intervention. However, with the increasing demand for chickens, chickens have begun to hatch artificially. In order to improve the hatching rate, there are very strict operation procedures to ensure the hatching effect of chickens. Chickens are naturally hatched and artificially hatched, and the incubation period is generally 2 1 day.

Hatching may be advanced or delayed due to the influence of different temperatures. The productivity of natural incubation is very low. A hen can hatch up to ten chicks, and the incubation temperature is difficult to control. However, artificial incubation can realize large-scale production, and the temperature is easy to control, which can greatly improve the incubation rate. Fire-proof incubation is also called fire-proof incubation.

Method for incubating chicks

This is a very traditional hatching method. There should be a heatable adobe sleeping platform prepared in advance, a paved bed, a covered quilt, and wheat straw on the kang. Rice can be put in the southern area, and then a mat can be laid. Put a batch of hatched eggs in every five to six days, put them directly on the mat, then cover the quilt and burn the kang to increase the temperature.

If the egg is laid at four o'clock, it will be lit at twelve o'clock in the evening and the egg will be turned over. The next day, the temperature of the eggs on the upper layer is very suitable, but the eggs on the lower layer are hot. At this time, it is necessary to change places, that is, put the eggs on the lower floor, put the eggs on the upper floor, and then cover them with a quilt. Pay attention to the time node and turn the eggs every two hours.
