Phambi kokutsenga tinkhukhu noma timfanelo tomsebenti, kubalulekile kutsi wati kuti utotsengisela bobani, nokutsi bafunani,bangentani kutfola noma kutsenga loku lokutsengisako. Kuyadzingeka kutsi utibandza Kanye nemigomo nemibandzela eta nalohlobo lebhizinisi. (fundza kahle ngomtsetfo walaningizimu Africa lana). Indlela encono kwetokulima kutsi utfole bantfu bakho, labatsenga phambi kokukhicita.
Tinkhukhu temacandza tikhicita emacandza ato (Loko sikubita sitsi, tinkhukhu temacandza) noma tsenga letinkhukhu lapho setikhicitab khona, kusuka viki lelishumi elinye nesiphohlongo, kuya kuviki leshumi elinye nesishiya galolunye, kodva kuya ngaleyo nkhukhu. Tinkhukhu tibitwa ngama (pullets) ngalesikhatsi titalwa, tize tilungele kukhicita emacandza. Kuncono kutsenga letinkhukhu tiseti ncane futsi mangabe indzawo yato iyinkhulu, ngoba akukho lula kutsengisa letinkhukhu ngoba tidzinga imifino nemisoco kute tikhicite kahle emacandza lakhuluphele, lamahle futsi lasesimeni lesihle kakhulu. Inzawo lapho tinkhukhu tikhicitela khona kumele ihlanteke kute igweme tifo nemagciwane.
Kuya ngetinkhukhu kutsi tidla kanjani futsi simo setulu sime njani, kodva inkhukhu yemacandza kufanele ikhicite noma yikanye ngelanga. Tinkhukhu letikhulile temacandza tikhicita lambalwa ngelanga, mangabe simo setulu sisihle kubalele, kantsi tikhicita kancane mangabe kubandza.
Emacandza acale abe mancane kodva akhule kancane kancane sikali sawo, inombolo nesimo semacandza lakhicitwako aya ngoku khuphuka emkhatsini kwe sikhatsi sokukhicita, bese tinkhukhu tiyema kukhicita. Balimi labancane noma labasa fufuta, labatsenga tinkhukhu letincane letingadli kahle, komele bamele sikhatsi lesinye futsi sekukhicita. Esikhatsini lapho kubanzima khona kutsi tinkhukhu tikhicite, kuncono kutsi titsengiswe, ikakhulu masekusikhatsi lesingangama shumi lasitfupha nesiphohlongo tikhicita.
