I run a farm, how can I become a zoo?

Chapter 53 27 chicks were born successfully
As these four chicks hatched successfully.

Thirty eggs, throw away three bad eggs.

A total of 27 eggs were broken this time, and Su Mu also got 27 chicks.

of course.

These 27 chicks are both male and female.

As for the chicks that have just hatched out of their shells, how do you tell the difference between male and female?

The first point is to look at the appearance characteristics.

If you want to identify the male and female chicks, you need to hold them in your hands and observe whether there are rice-like protrusions at the anus. If there are, it is a rooster; if not, it is a hen.

Su Mu spent ten minutes in this way.

It was finally determined to be.

27 chicks, a total of 10 roosters and 17 pullets.

As long as these 27 chicks can grow up smoothly.

Then Su Mu can start gathering wool.

By then, there will be more roosters and hens in his family.

And by that time, I will have endless fresh eggs!

As for eggs, there are many ways to cook them.

For example, tomato scrambled eggs, egg custard, fried eggs, egg pancakes, seaweed egg soup, etc.
And eggs are also rich in nutrients.

It can be said that when the local eggs in the countryside are still hot after the hen has just laid them, you can actually drink them raw while they are still hot.

Su Mu remembered this kind of thing, he had done it when he was a child.

But since I grew up, I have never tried this method of eating raw eggs.

Newly hatched chicks don't need to eat for the first two days.

You can drink water and eat egg yolks after two days.

You can slowly start eating chicken feed and egg yolks, and after a week you can eat soaked millet and rice.

After all, the newly hatched chicks are small, have short fluff, and are relatively fragile. However, the chicks have absorbed enough nutrients in the eggs, so they do not need to feed any food in the first two days after hatching.

However, twelve hours after hatching, the chicks should be fed and watered promptly. Although the chicks do not need food, water is essential.

So next, Su Mu only needs to take care of the mother of these two chicks.

When the time is up, prepare some water for the chicks.

Once they are able to start eating, you can prepare chick feed for them.

Um.
Speaking of which, he didn't have chicken feed at home.

It seems that in just these two days, I have to go to town.

Buy some chick feed for those chicks.

In addition, it's time for me to go to town and buy some ducks.

Eggs can also be used to wrap preserved eggs.

But Su Mu still likes to use duck eggs to wrap preserved eggs.

After all, two kinds of eggs are used to wrap preserved eggs, so the taste is naturally different.

"Xiao Mu, are you at home??"

Just when Su Mu was busy feeding two big hens.

A voice came in.

Hearing this sound, Su Mu quickly walked out of the chicken pen.

When they came outside, they saw Chen Yinian walking over with two students.

"Professor Chen, why are you here??"

Seeing Professor Chen's arrival, Su Mu was a little surprised. After all, he had not seen Chen Yinian coming over the past few days.

"Haha, Xiaomu, I just came back from the Agricultural College."

"At the Agricultural College, I secured some rice seedlings for everyone in the village."

"No, I just sent it here with the students today and handed it to the village chief for distribution."

Regarding Su Mu's doubts, Chen Yinian explained.

"That's it."

"Professor Chen, thank you." After all, this village is the village where he was born and raised.

The people in the village treated him well.

So no matter what, Chen Yinian did this, and he should be grateful.

"Haha, Xiaomu, you're welcome. After all, I like this village very much. It makes me very sad to see them destroying their rice noodles due to natural disasters."

"So, as long as I can do my best, I will naturally help."

"By the way, Xiao Mu, we still have some rice seedlings we brought this time. Do you plan to plant them here? If you plan to plant them, you can go to the village chief to get some."

"Um, Uncle Chen, I would like to plant a little bit, but if I am alone, I probably won't be able to do it."

Su Mu really wants to plant some rice seedlings.

Take a look at the rice fields irrigated with Lingquan water to see how the rice will reach after it matures.

After all, ever since he used spiritual spring water to irrigate the vegetable patch, the vegetables in it have grown quite well.

If it is placed on rice seedlings, some varieties will definitely be improved.

Maybe it can produce high-quality rice.

"Haha, Xiao Mu, if you are short of manpower, I have some here."

"When the time comes and you want to plant it, we can help you."

At this time, Chen Yinian laughed loudly.

"Uh, Uncle Chen, why are you so embarrassed?"

"You helped me last time, and if you help me again this time and bring others to help, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I will feel embarrassed."

Hearing this, Su Mu scratched his head in embarrassment.

After all, Chen Yinian has helped him a lot.

If Su Mu agreed to help him again, it would be a complete lie.

"Actually, Xiao Mu, our help is not without conditions."

“These are also things that the students I brought agreed to.”

"That's since I was a guest at your home last time and tasted your craftsmanship."

"After several students returned home, they have been thinking about them very much. They even often said in my ears that it would be great if they could taste Mr. Su's cooking skills again."

"So I took this opportunity to speak out about it."

"Xiao Mu, let's help you plant crops, and you can help me satisfy the appetites of these students. What do you think?"

'Of course, you don't need to be too busy. We will only have a meal at your place at noon. '

'After the rice is planted, we will not open this mouth. '

One meal can be exchanged for several free labors.

Is this worth it for Su Mu?
That's [-]% worth it! !
"Since Uncle Chen has said so, fine, I agree to this matter."

"I'll go to the village chief's house later and bring back the seedlings."

"Then take the machine to the fields tomorrow and plow it."

"Anyway, I already have a water storage lake here, and the water resources are sufficient. I will plow the fields early tomorrow morning and start planting in the afternoon or the day after tomorrow."

Now that he has someone on hand, Su Mu should hurry up.

"Okay, Xiaomu, give me a call when you get out of here, and then I'll bring the students over to help you plant the seedlings."

"Haha, okay, Uncle Chen, since you have helped me, I will naturally satisfy your appetite."

"That's right, Xiao Mu."

"After I took some soil from you last time."

"We have also made some progress in our research."

"Oh?"

"In our research, we found that the soil on your side is more nutritious than the soil in other places."

“Also, we’re trying to use the soil to grow a little vegetables.”

"We found that the quality of vegetables grown on this soil is several times better than that of vegetables grown on ordinary soil."
