The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 38 I'm serious about raising chickens

When raising chickens, as long as the vaccines are properly vaccinated, the temperature and humidity in the shed are well controlled, and the feed and drinking water are ensured in a timely manner, the problem is generally not a big one.

It was almost one o'clock in the morning when the [-] Hongyu chicks were transported to Taohualing Village.

At this time, the remote Taohualing Village was completely silent, except for the chirping of insects, there was no other movement.

The lights in Wang Fumin's house were on, and it was like a lighthouse for navigation in the mountains.

Wang Fumin and his wife were very enthusiastic about the guests who came from afar. After the chicks were transported to the shed, Zhao Shiling hurriedly brought out the meals that had been prepared long ago.

After running the long distance, not only Li Hong was a little hungry, but even Wang Shaodong was a little hungry too.

Li Hong was a real person, so he didn't make any excuses, so he sat down and ate.

Moreover, when Wang Shaodong called before returning, he specifically told his mother that the eating habits in Ning'an County are different from those in Luzhong City. They have to eat a bowl of porridge for every meal, and porridge is also fine. , Porridge is also available.Anyway, people over there will feel uncomfortable if they don't drink some water every meal.This eating habit does not exist in central Shandong.

Wang Shaodong and the others have grown up, and the most common meal is pancakes and pickles.The child is holding a pancake in one hand and a piece of pickle in the other hand, eating a pancake and a piece of pickle.When I was full, I ran to the tap and drank a stomach full of cold water. This meal was regarded as a greeting.

In order to take care of Li Hong and his eating habits, Zhao Shiling specially made a pot of corn paste.

When Li Hong and the others came to Wang Fumin's house for the first time, they seemed a little cautious, and they were also a little moved when they saw four hot dishes and steamed buns on the table.

Zhao Shiling and Wang Xiangdong counted the number of chicks in the chicken shed, and according to the rules of non-compliance, the other party gave fifty more chicks.However, it can be seen that most of the little chickens that are let out are relatively weak.

These rules were only known to Wang Shaodong later, and now Li Hong has not fooled the Wang family, so it can be seen that Li Hong is still very sincere.

After Li Hong and the driver had dinner, they left with the money that Wang Fumin had settled for them.According to the agreement, Wang Fumin gave Li Hong 600 yuan as a favor fee, and Wang Shaodong had already paid the other 200 yuan for shipping when he was in Sidian Town.

Counting the benefits and shipping costs, the price of Wang Jiajin's chicklings this time is only two yuan and twenty cents, which is thirty cents less than Wang Shaodong's estimated price.

Although it is said that after another month, the price of chicklings on the market will drop to 25 cents a piece, but at that time, the chickens will not be able to keep up with the sales of old chickens at the end of the year.Moreover, Wang Shaodong also has his own plan, not waiting for the chicks to reach [-] cents, but when they reach [-] cents, he will rent the greenhouses of He Jiaqing, He Jiaxiang and Ma Zhentang, and get him [-] to [-] chickens at a time. The big car is going to be sold at the end of the year.Wang Shaodong estimated that the family earned at least [-] yuan in this transaction.

In this way, by the end of the year, not only can all the debts be paid off, but also a surplus of nearly 60 yuan can be left.Then after the new year, I will expand the scale again. At that time, my own chicken farm will form economies of scale, and next year's income will definitely rise to a higher level.

This time, when the 2000 young chicks bought by Wang Shaodong's family came to Wang's chicken shed, it took 24 hours until [-] o'clock tomorrow morning.Then at this stage, it cannot be fed yet, but it needs to be fed with water.

Moreover, newborn chicks like to pile up in a pile, and the chicks that are pressed at the bottom are easy to suffocate to death. Therefore, in order to ensure the survival rate of the chicks, it is best when the chicks are scattered in the greenhouse. Make sure someone is watching at all times.

Of course, these experiences were summed up by Wang Fumin after years of raising chickens.But now, because Wang Shaodong has the memory of his previous life, he pretends that he learned it from books and reminds his father that he needs to pay attention to these things.

The suitable growth temperature for 1-2 day chicks is about 29 degrees. In summer, the temperature in the house can generally meet this requirement.Then the temperature will drop three degrees every seven days, and finally reach 21 degrees Celsius.

The temperature of 21 degrees Celsius is difficult to achieve in a chicken house without air conditioning, and then proper ventilation is very important for raising chickens in summer.

When the first batch of chickens were raised, Wang Fumin did not pay attention to these things. When the chickens were still young and their resistance was weak, many casualties occurred.And it was spring at that time, and the temperature was much more suitable than summer now.If you do not pay attention to temperature control in summer, it is most likely to cause diseases such as dysentery and cholera in chicken flocks, and the consequences are unimaginable.

All these chicken raising experiences were summed up by Wang Fumin in his previous life from more than ten years of chicken raising experience, and then he told his son when he was chatting with him.Now, Wang Shaodong has used these experiences to guide his father in raising chickens.

Of course, Wang Shaodong definitely cannot say that these experiences are memories of previous lives, but emphasizes that these things are all learned from the book "Guide to Raising Chickens".

During the two weeks after the chicks arrived, Wang Fumin, Wang Shaodong and Zhao Shiling took turns sleeping and taking care of the chicks in the shed.

Wang Fumin saw that his son's knowledge of raising chickens has far surpassed his own.

On the fifth day after Xiaoji Miao came to Wang's house, without waiting for Wang Fumin's arrangement, Wang Shaodong went to the veterinary drug sales point in front of the County Animal Husbandry Bureau to buy chickenpox vaccine, and then under Wang Shaodong's guidance, gave it to the chicken pox vaccine that night. All [-] chickens were vaccinated against fowl pox.Then on the seventh day, Wang Shaodong bought another Newcastle disease vaccine to prevent Newcastle disease from their chickens.

Wang Shaodong knew in his heart that for this batch of chickens, only old-age chickens would make money, so in order to ensure the survival rate of the chickens, all vaccinations must be given once.

However, on the second day after the vaccination, Wang Fumin found that the feed intake of the chicken flock had dropped significantly, and he became anxious.But at this time, Wang Shaodong confidently told his father that this was a normal stress reaction after the chicken was vaccinated, and it returned to normal after three days.

Sure enough, three days later, the feed intake of the chickens returned to a normal level, which made Wang Fumin look at his son with admiration.

His son seems to have a lot of research on raising chickens, which made Wang Fumin a little shaken. Could it be that his son is suitable for this bowl of rice?

And Wang Fumin also saw that his son didn't seem to have any plans to go to repeat classes.

Wang Fumin discussed with his wife that if his son could really endure this hardship, it would not be a bad result to find a wife in this mountain village safely in the future.But the two of them didn't know that once the price of live chickens dropped after a month, they wouldn't be so optimistic.
