If you want hens to lay more eggs, it is not enough to just give them wild vegetables, and after Zhou Sining came here, he was committed to improving his quality of life.

She is a breeder, and her best skill must be raising livestock, but she doesn't want to have pigs at home, because it is the common property of the Zhou family, even if she feeds it well, and finally sells it for money into Zhou Yaosen's pocket, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to bother with it.

In fact, the chickens at home are the same, but the chicken is better than the pig is that it has a certain flexibility, the Zhou family can now pick up four or five a day, as long as she finds a way to let the chicken lay more eggs, and then watch more carefully, take advantage of the people are not paying attention to the extra eggs to pick up, those eggs are hers, this is also her labor income, she takes a clear conscience.

As an excellent breeder, Zhou Sining has mastered a lot of ways to improve the laying rate of laying hens, but considering the general environment and acceptance here, she can only exclude some advanced technology, and choose an ancient and simple method among many methods, that is, maggot feeding chickens.

If you want to lay more eggs, you have to find a way to increase the nutrition of chickens, in fact, raising chickens is like raising children, you want children to thrive, then you must lay a good foundation for children from an early age, delicious and delicious supply, raising chickens is also a reason, if you want chickens to lay eggs desperately, it is necessary to reasonably increase the protein content in chicken food, so that the nutrition of chickens can keep up, it will naturally lay more eggs.

Maggots are a kind of high-protein larvae, feeding chickens can increase the protein content of chickens, can make chickens grow faster, and can also improve egg production rate, plus chickens themselves like to eat bugs, so feeding maggots to chickens is a very good method.

There are many ways to artificially breed maggots, Zhou Sining took into account the conditions of the Zhou family, as well as his current situation, and chose one of the lowest cost and the simplest operation method from many methods.

This method requires fresh grass or leaves, mixed with a little rice bran, boiled with a small amount of water, poured into a container such as a clay pot, and placed outdoors in a place with a high density of flies, and after 5 to 7 days, a large number of maggots can be raised in the container.

Fresh grass and leaves are everywhere in Xitang Village, but the rice bran stumped Zhou Sining.

The Zhou family now eats sweet potatoes themselves, and it is really difficult for her to find some rice bran in such a poor family. Later, she couldn't find a solution, so she had to replace the rice bran with potato pulp. Fortunately, flies are solid creatures, not picky eaters at all, there is no rice bran, and sweet potato pulp is not disliked.

The raw materials were ready, but Zhou Sining was stumped in the last step, that is, the Zhou family did not have the container for these culture media.

The Zhou family's wooden pots and barrels have their own uses, and if she dares to bring raw maggots, what awaits her will be a fat beating.

Zhou Sining didn't want to experience this experience at such an old age, so he decisively gave up the existing tools at home.

In those days, she walked around the front and back of Zhou's house inside and out countless times, and finally hit her mind on a broken jar in the backyard.

It's really a broken cylinder, just like the one in Sima Guang's smashing cylinder, a big hole was broken in the waist of the cylinder, and there was a height of almost thirty centimeters below that could barely decorate some water.

Since the tank broke, it was placed in the backyard as a water storage tool for the vegetable garden, exerting its last light and heat.

However, after Zhou Sining found out that it could have a better place to go, it ended its retirement life and went into battle again. She took great pains to roll the broken jar to the front yard, and found a good place to hide it, that is, the back of the thatched house, where the smell was strong, and everyone went there as if they were in a war, and they went back as quickly as possible, and few people would go around to the back of the thatched house to see if there was anything hidden.

Besides, she is really not afraid to look at the things in this broken tank, even if the Zhou family finds out, at most they think she is sick, and there are maggots in the pit, and she is still raising them here.

As for the sudden disappearance of the broken tank, Zhou Sining is not too worried, anyway, she is doing all the work at home inside and out, including the vegetable garden in the backyard, whether she scoops water from the broken tank or from somewhere else, as long as she doesn't dislike being tired.

After a few days of waiting, when she saw the white eggs floating on the upper layer of the broken tank, she knew that she had succeeded. Now the weather is just right for the eggs to hatch, and within a few days, the white eggs in the water will grow into maggots.

Later, when she feeds the chickens, she will add a little maggots to their diet to increase nutrition.

Today is the same, she took the wooden bowl and walked to the back of the hut, the broken jar is not covered during the day, she does not grow flies, but she is counting on the help of these flies who are nostalgic and unwilling to leave the hut during the day.

She approached and held her breath first, it stinks too much here, and the smell of the medium in the water tank after fermentation is also indescribable, so she has to hold her breath first every time she comes. Looking down into the tank, a layer of white maggots floated on the surface of the water.

She took up a plank that was placed next to the water tank, stretched it out to the water, and scraped it, and by the time she took it out, the side that touched the water was already covered with a layer of maggots.

To say that she wants to develop a career in the Zhou family is difficult, not to mention the difficulties ahead, and later after she raised maggots, when she wanted to fish them out and feed them to the chickens, there were difficulties again, she did not have the tools to catch maggots.

Although she learned to breed, she didn't want to directly reach out to the tank to fish the maggots raised by this method and environment. So she needs to find a salvage tool, which is not required, a spoon, a shovel or a net.

It's just that the Zhou family didn't have extra tools for her to use, so she could only go outside to pick up the rags and find a suitable plank, and she didn't know whose house it was, so she took it home secretly while it was dark, and just like that, she could be regarded as having prepared all the house styles.

Therefore, she has paid a lot for eggs, not only physically, but also mentally.

After knocking the wooden board into the wooden bowl and seeing that all the maggots on it had fallen into the bowl, she bent down and scraped it a few more times.

Although the method of feeding maggots to chickens is good, it cannot directly replace the feed with maggots, which is harmful and unhelpful, so this ratio must be mastered.

Zhou Sining looked at the wooden bowl, and after scooping out the maggots on the last board, he directly stirred the wooden board in the bowl up and down with the wooden board in his hand, then put the board back on the edge of the tank, and turned back to the chicken coop.

When she opened the door of the chicken coop, she looked back at the yard in surprise, Zhou Jiqiang and Zhou Jisheng, the two nasty boys, were actually gone, and it was estimated that she couldn't wait for the sweet potatoes to ripen, so she ran out to play first.

This is not something that Zhou Sining can manage, and without those two guys, she is more comfortable at home.

After putting the chicken food on the ground, she didn't care about it anymore, closed the door of the chicken coop, then took a scoop of water from the kitchen, stood in the yard, washed her hands alternately, and made sure that her hands were clean, then she took the scoop into the kitchen and continued to cook.

It's almost time, and the sweet potatoes in the pot should be cooked.
