    Experts normally advise Kuroiler farmers to consume the eggs laid during the first two months and start incubating them from the 7th month.Before placing the eggs into the incubator,farmers use a candling machine to see the embryo of the egg.The fertilised eggs usually take 21 days to fully hatch into chicks.<\/span><\/p>\n
