Chapter 843: Starling Babies Are Born (2/3)

You know, although my uncle's family is in a remote mountain village in the next county,

But there is indeed a lot of land there, and their family alone has twenty or thirty acres, and if they were all planted with chestnuts and pumpkins, they would have an income of two or three hundred thousand yuan a year.

Even though the cooperative only provided 10 acres of seeds and seedlings at the beginning, it was very good and exceeded their expectations.

Because the average cooperative member can have an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year, it is very good, of course, Moon Lake Village is outside the list.

So the uncle felt that his nephew could give his share of ten acres of land, and he was overjoyed and very surprised.

Because according to Xiaofeng's ear, one acre of chestnuts can hang fruit for five or six hundred catties in the second year, and the purchase price of the cooperative is eight yuan per catty, which is the income of four or five thousand yuan, and ten acres of land is forty or fifty thousand.

Coupled with the ten acres of pumpkins planted in the interplanting, one acre of pumpkins has an income of tens of thousands, and ten acres can earn more than 100,000 yuan.

In this way, the chestnut and pumpkin combined, you can have an income of 1440,000 yuan in the second year.

In the third year, chestnuts begin to bear fruit in large quantities, and the yield per mu will reach more than 1,000 catties, and at that time, the total income will reach about 200,000.

In the fourth year, the chestnut will reach the peak fruit period, the yield per mu can be about 3,000 catties, and ten acres of land can create a net income of more than 200,000 yuan.

"Oh my God, can you have 300,000 yuan for farming?" Hearing Zhang Feng's introduction, my uncle couldn't help but exclaim.

Even my cousin opened his mouth wide in horror, stunned, and then gasped, he didn't expect that farming could have such a high income!

"Of course, the prices of agricultural products are not bad now, as long as there is technology, management can keep up, and the income is also good!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

In fact, it is not only the Moon Lake cooperative, but now many farms, or large agricultural counties, have very good incomes.

For example, in Ludong Province, the income of farmers in many places is very high, especially those large planters, who can earn 3.5 million yuan a year casually.

People who often read the Prosperity Sutra or the Daily Agricultural Scripture know that there are many farmers with an annual income of hundreds of thousands, but although all this is not universal, it at least shows that agriculture has a lot to offer, and the potential of agriculture is very worthy of everyone's deep exploration.

The three of them chatted and chatted until late at night

Knowing that Wang Guilan walked in, everyone realized that it was so late.

"Xiaofeng, how are you talking?"

"It's all discussed, after the National Day, I will arrange for Ran to go to my uncle's house for inspection, and when the time comes, maybe the whole village will be included in the scope of the cooperative's inspection!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's good, your sister cooked supper, everyone come out and taste it!" Hearing this good news, Wang Guilan was also very happy, and called the three of them and walked out.

The third day of the National Day

With the good news, my uncle and cousin left Moon Lake and hurried home.

…………

"Brother, brother......" sent their uncle away, and as soon as Zhang Feng returned home, Xiao Yue and Xiao Lin ran in with a happy face.

"What's the matter? Why are you so happy?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile.

Due to the eldest sister's wedding, Zhang Lin, the younger sister who had just been a sophomore, also rushed back from the mountain city.

"Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu's babies are born!" the little girl reported to Zhang Feng in surprise.

"What??Xiaoba's baby was born?" Zhang Feng was also surprised, although he knew that it was just a few days, but when he really came, he was still a little caught off guard.

After the starlings are in heat and mating, the females start nesting.

At this time, nesting materials such as straw should be provided. Females lay 4~6 eggs per clutch, ranging from 1 eggs per day or every 2~3 days.

Once the eggs have been laid, the female begins to hatch the eggs. During the incubation period, the female does not leave the nest box except for eating and drinking, and the male also takes care of the nest. The whole incubation period is 15~18 days, after more than 18 days, the female will refuse to hatch the eggs, show restlessness, fly in and out, and keep chirping.

According to Xiaoba, Zhang Feng calculated the time, and Xiaoba's wife Xiaojiu also had sixteen days to hatch the baby.

"Hehe, of course, when my second sister and I went over just now, we heard the chirping of birds! It must be Zhang Feng's babies!"

"Okay! I'll take a look!" said Zhang Feng suddenly got up and hurriedly strode towards the grove by the lake.

When Zhang Feng came to the bird's nest of Xiaoba's house, the sound of chirping birds came from the trees, although the sound was very small and immature, but it still did not escape Zhang Feng's ears.

"Little eight, little eight??" Zhang Feng shouted excitedly to the tree.

"Huh, master, why are you here?" Xiaoba jumped to the edge of the bird's nest, looked down, and asked after seeing Zhang Feng.

"Xiaoba, is your baby born?" Zhang Feng hurriedly asked when he saw Xiaoba.

As soon as he talked about his baby, Hachi chattered non-stop, just like a father who had just had a baby, he couldn't help himself with excitement, and wanted to announce to everyone that he was a father, so that everyone could be happy for themselves and bless themselves.

Twitter!Twitter!!

Suddenly, there was a hurried call from the bird's nest!

Xiao Bayi hurriedly screamed: "Oh, master, my little babies are hungry again, I'm going to get them something to eat!"

Seeing that Xiaoba was about to leave, looking for food for his daughter-in-law and children, Zhang Feng hurriedly stopped it!

"Eh! Hachi waits......"

"What's wrong, master?" Xiao Hachi turned around and asked Zhang Feng curiously.

"Where are you going to find food, don't you have it at home? Go and go home with me!" Zhang Feng hurriedly said.

When Xiao Bayi heard Zhang Feng say this, he immediately happily landed on Zhang Feng's shoulder, and then followed Zhang Feng home.

Starling brooding, the first half month is the female bird with pecked bread feeding, half a month later the male bird takes on the main task of feeding the chicks. The chicks are fed bread worms and other insects with calcium and other corresponding mineral feeds, and the broodstock also feeds the chicks on their own feed. The chicks can come out of the nest after about 26 days of growth, and the chicks can start to live independently from the parent bird in about 1 month. A pair of parent birds can breed two nests of young birds per year. Generally, the chicks are 10 days after hatching, and they are most suitable for artificial domestication.

Zhang Feng checked some information and knew that the little starling could eat bread, and it had already been prepared, even the insects in half a month, Zhang Feng already had an idea, the earthworms in the backyard were very good food, and I believe they would like it very much.

"Hachi will go home and get it after eating, do you know? Don't let the baby go hungry!" Xiaoyue's girl volunteered to hand over the bread to Hachi, and then told Hachi seriously.

Hachi nodded, holding a piece of bread, and immediately flew to the nest, for fear that if he slowed down, he would starve his baby and daughter-in-law, it seems that Hachi is really a good male bird who is only responsible.
