Mountain Village Chicken Tycoon

Chapter 10 The First Night of Raising Chickens

Dongling in Fenghuangling Village has not been as lively as it is now for many years.

Zhao Zhijiang's family directly locked the door of their hometown, and then moved all the pots and pans to their own apple orchard in Dongling.

Now, of course, the family prefers to be called a chicken farm for their apple orchard.

The support subsidy from the Animal Husbandry Bureau came faster than Zhao Qingshan expected. In addition, reporters from the county TV station also came to their house twice. When the greenhouse was built for about ten days, a reporter came to do a follow-up report.

Now, the Zhao family’s chicken shed has been built, and three tile-roofed houses have been built at the entrance of their apple orchard. One of them is used as a warehouse for storing feed and mixing feed, and the other two are divided into three small rooms. two bedrooms and one as a living room.

There is a wooden signboard hanging at the entrance of the Zhao Family Apple Orchard, with a line of big characters "Dongling Chicken Farm" painted on it, the signboard was processed by Zhao Qingshan's grandfather, the words were written by Zhao Qingshan himself, and then painted over with red paint , the base of the red letter is white paint.

The subsidy from the Animal Husbandry Bureau can cover all the construction costs of all four greenhouses and the three tile-roofed houses at the entrance, and there is an extra 1 yuan.Zhao Qingshan plans to install a landline phone on the chicken farm, and plans to buy a mobile phone after the first batch of chickens are sold.

In 2002, in remote places like Fenghuangling Village, it was necessary to pay an initial installation fee for the installation of a fixed line, and it was quite expensive, 2000 yuan.

Of course, the Zhao family did not publicize such a good thing.

People in the village praised Zhao Zhijiang's son for his brains, and he could climb up to such a big leader as the director of the animal husbandry bureau, which was unimaginable in a small mountain village.

The vast majority of the villagers felt that they were not capable of climbing up to such a big leader as the director of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, so no one said they wanted to follow Zhao Qingshan in building a chicken farm.

Tonight, the chicken sprouts sent by the Agricultural University Company came to the Zhao family's shed for the first time.

The Agricultural University provides technical guidance throughout the process of raising chickens, so Zhao Qingshan is not worried that the chickens will not be raised well.Besides, in my previous life, because of my work, I had contacts with many large chicken farms, and I was very clear about how to raise chickens on a large scale.

Now that the chickens are still small, there is no need to disperse them in four chicken sheds, but they are all concentrated in one shed.

Zhao's four chicken sheds are scattered in the [-]-acre apple orchard. In fact, the entire apple orchard can only be found in these four relatively large areas.There are four sheds scattered up and down. Near the entrance, there is a chicken shed. Now all the chickens are placed in the shed at the entrance.

Newly hatched chicks must be vaccinated against Malik within 24 hours, and then sent to the farm and placed in the chicken shed.

The chicks sent to the farm can be fed for the first time after 24 hours after hatching.

The technician who came to deliver the chickens to the Zhao family told Zhao Qingshan that this batch of chickens would be ready to be fed by 01:30 this morning.

Before 01:30, the technician told Zhao Qingshan that the chicks could only be given water, not food.

Moreover, it is already September in the Gregorian calendar. At night, the weather has begun to cool down, so we must pay attention to keeping the chicks warm and maintaining the temperature.

The technician told Zhao Qingshan that the most suitable temperature for the growth of chicks is 32.2 degrees Celsius.Of course, it is difficult to say that the temperature control is so precise in chicken greenhouses like Zhao Qingshan and his team.Anyway, as long as the temperature is higher than 28 degrees Celsius, it is not a big problem.If the room temperature is lower than 26 degrees Celsius, the chicks are prone to catch a cold, and once the chicks catch a cold, it is easy to cause casualties.

In September, the weather is getting colder every day. In order to prevent extreme cooling, Zhao’s chicken shed has a stove with a large mouth at one end, and a chimney with a width of [-] centimeters is built inside the shed.If the temperature drops suddenly, as long as the stove is lit, the temperature in the entire greenhouse can be guaranteed.

In addition, in order to maintain the temperature, Zhao Qingshan's family surrounded a space of about 200 square meters with plastic sheeting in the greenhouse at the entrance, and put the chicks inside, and the plastic sheeting also played a role in heat preservation.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the family of three stood in the shed surrounded by plastic sheets, smiling, watching the more than 1 little chickens running all over the ground.

When chicken breeders send chickens to farmers, they usually send 12000% more chickens. That is to say, Zhao Qingshan signed a recycling contract with the Agricultural University Company for 12240 chickens, and their current number of chickens should be [-]. chicken.

"Shanzi, there are so many chickens here."

It was the first time Zhang Huifen saw so many chickens, and she was a little excited.In fact, Zhao Zhijiang was also very excited. Even if they were asked to go to sleep at this time, they would not fall asleep.

So many chickens are the hope of their Zhao family.

Zhao Qingshan thought in his heart, how much is this? In his previous life, he went to a large chicken farm in the province. One worker could take care of 20 chickens. The size of the chicken farm was so large that one side of the shed could not see the other. .

"Well, it's almost too loud, twittering, twittering, these chickens are really noisy." Zhao Zhijiang said with a smile while looking at the thermometer hanging beside him.

Zhao Qingshan looked at his watch, turned his head and said to his father: "There will be feeding in one and a half hours. Xiao Cao, a technician from the Agricultural University, told me whether the chick is good or not. It depends on the feeding time for the first time. The chickens are running out of food."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huifen hurriedly said: "I know this too. When we bought chickens to raise, we always sprinkled a handful of millet for the chickens to eat, and we picked whichever one liked it."

"Shanzi, this little chicken can really grow to 45 catties in 5 days?" Zhao Zhijiang asked.

"Is this fake? The technicians have already said that they are a big company, so they can't lie to us, right?"

Zhao Qingshan looked around at the chickens, even if it is the best batch of chickens, there will be some weak chickens, and then the breeder will pick out those weak chickens at the beginning, and if they are fed in a separate space, It will also increase the overall survival rate.

After Xiaojizai entered the greenhouse, the family of three has been working on this work.

In front of them, a family of three separated a space of about five square meters with bricks, and then the three of them picked the weak chickens into it. So far, the three of them have picked up a total of more than [-] chickens.

"If raising chickens can really make money, I'll look at my building and stop doing it in the future."

Zhao Qingshan waved his hand: "Dad, you just follow me to raise chickens, it's so tiring to do construction."

He looked at the plastic sheet on the other side, and he seemed to see a bright future for the whole family.
