Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

Chapter 288: The Little Hen: Steady and Steady (2)

Dong Xiaoxi didn't remember how he left the chicken coop.

Xiao Mi saw it - the hands and feet were tied together, looking very silly.

Young hens have very high nutritional requirements during adolescence, and Dong Xiaoxi did not raise chickens completely according to the book. There was no one as courageous as him in the village, and many gossiping old women gathered at the intersection, waiting to laugh at the Dong family.

[Well, let me tell you, the Dong family spent so much money to train a college student, it would be better to save the money for themselves. After graduation, the couple still can't just lie down and enjoy their lives. Instead, they have to work harder than before! ]

An old lady in a flowered jacket said with a pout.

She raised seven old hens and valued the eggs more than her own eyes. If her daughter-in-law wanted to pick two eggs to cook, she had to pay with her mother-in-law.

[They are all fed with feed, how can they be as nutritious as the eggs laid by free-range chickens that eat earthworms and worms? You'll see, one day they will cry!]

When these old sisters met in the town’s vegetable market, they would pretend not to know each other. But for the sake of their own interests, they stood on the same front and shared the same hatred of the enemy.

It's just human nature to hate others for having something and laugh at others for not having something.

The feed that Dong Xiaoxi feeds the hens is almost entirely independently mixed by him. It contains dried shrimp skin, dried earthworms, corn crumbs, wheat bran, baking soda, rice bran, glucose powder, etc. He makes small adjustments at any time based on the growth conditions.

Don’t think that only human girls like sweet things.

Adding a small amount of glucose powder to the feed can effectively enhance the resistance of young hens and reduce stress responses.

When the little hens taste the sweet flavor, they will no longer scare themselves and make them restless day and night.

Dong Xiaoxi was very concerned and did everything himself. Once the gate was closed, he would not even listen to his own mother's scolding and nagging, let alone those old hags outside who had never treated his family well!

【Giggle~】

By the way, I haven't received any special treatment so far, but have been isolated by my peers.

They are afraid of my wise and bright eyes when I look down upon all living beings;

They are tired of me standing out from the crowd and always using my attitude of a thinker to distinguish myself from the others who just work hard;

They hate that every time I see Dong Xiaoxi I treat her as enthusiastically as if she were my reborn parents.

Ah.

Dong Xiaoxi took a gourd ladle and checked and fed each chicken coop one by one. Finally, he found that something was wrong with the unique little hen in front of him.

It was pecked so that there were bald spots here and there, as if it had some skin disease.

[Ah...you...]

He sighed and held out his hand.

He watched the hen nimbly emerge from its old spot and jump into his hands.

[Hehehe~ Handsome Xiaoxi, when are you going to assign me a different errand? ]

Dong Xiaoxi's face turned slightly red, he was helpless with this little hen with a spotty mouth.

This is also one of the reasons why he resolutely refuses to let his parents come into the chicken coop to feed the chickens.

If parents who have worked hard all their lives and have no knowledge of ghosts and gods encounter it, I don't know how scared they will be.

[In about ten days, you will start laying eggs, and I will also receive my first return payment! ]

The hen's originally calm expression quickly cracked, and Dong Xiaoxi stared at it seriously, wanting to know whether his prediction based on a rough estimate from the book was accurate.

Asking this question to a young hen with no farming experience is as absurd as asking a snail why it doesn't ride a bicycle if it's in a hurry.

Dong Xiaoxi changed the little hen's residence - the first chicken coop as soon as she entered the door.

[Hehehe~ No, Xiaoxi, these two seem to have some problems, change them for me! ]

The moment the little hen was pushed into the chicken coop, she spread her wings and stuck at the door, refusing to go in.

[Ah? Something wrong?! ]

Dong Xiaoxi was stunned. He had carefully observed the chicken manure and eating habits, and there was nothing wrong.

[Cluck, cluck, cluck ~ Of course, look at their combs, thick, red, big and upright, such chickens are not real hens that can lay eggs, they are fake!!!]

Dong Xiaoxi blinked and looked carefully at the combs of the two hens. They were indeed much larger than those of other hens. It turned out that there was a spy among the female army.

[Good job! If you help me pick out the sick and weak chickens, I will arrange a single room for you! ]

[Hahaha~Okay, okay! There's a belly over here that's mopping the floor. Don't think it's filled with eggs. It's actually full of bad water, peritonitis! ]

Dong Xiaoxi's hairs on his back stood up, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly picked out the sick chicken that the hen had pointed out.

[These two are skinny and have no chance of laying eggs. It’s a waste of food if they only eat but don’t grow! ]

Dong Xiaoxi reached out and grabbed!

[This one has green feces, and that one has black feces. They are both sick and cannot lay eggs! ]

Dong Xiaoxi, catch him! No doubt about it, hit him wherever you point!

[Another big-bellied chicken with peritonitis. This... Xiaoxi, you should get some quicklime to sterilize it first. Eating and defecating in the same place can easily spread the disease! ]

After Dong Xiaoxi caught this hen, he wanted to knock on her door immediately for the powerful little hen.

One man and one chicken worked together seamlessly and caught all the sick and weak hens.

Then ventilate and sprinkle quicklime for sterilization.

When Dong Xiaoxi was busy, he often looked back at the little hen that had moved into the single room. He always felt that it was unreal.

A week later, Dong Xiaoxi opened the chicken coop early in the morning and saw a lot of eggs.

Newly laid eggs are very small.

He held the two in his hands excitedly, choking with excitement.

When we buy the chicks, they are all 60 days old, and they start laying eggs at 120 days old. God knows how he managed to get through these days so carefully.

He turned around and quickly went out to call his parents in to help collect the eggs. After a night, the egg trays that had been prepared for several days were finally put to use.

Dong's parents were skeptical at first, thinking that the boy was talking in his sleep in broad daylight. But when they were pulled into the chicken coop and saw the round eggs, they became even more excited than he was.

[Oh, I told you that my Xiaoxi is the best, but Liu Hua next door didn’t believe it and insisted that our retirement money would be wasted. I’m going to show her later and see if she will slap herself in the face!!!]

Dong Xiaoxi's mother picked up the eggs skillfully, and made some noises in her mouth.

Mr. Dong's palms were rough and heavy. He was afraid of breaking the egg and wasting his son's hard work. His big hands unconsciously turned into orchid fingers and his speed was far behind.

Both the father and the son were left far behind by the thin woman.

Dong Xiaoxi glared at the little hen that was flapping its wings and trying to make trouble, and warned it not to scare its parents.

He took a photo of the neatly stacked pile of eggs on the cart and sent it to Huayue.

[Xiaoyue, look, I'm about to see the return money~]
