The matter of raising chickens with 2,000 roosters in the free-range chicken coop has been decided, and the problem of sales has been solved, and the rest is to raise chickens well.

As for the 24,000 chickens that came on later, Wang Shaodong knew very well in his heart that as soon as the car left at the end of the year, the whole family would be happy.

It is very important to raise chickens well, and the problems that did not occur in the Wang family's chicken farm in the previous life have also appeared now.

For example, the salt poisoning incident that occurred a few days ago was a situation that I had never encountered in my previous life.

Adding a little salt to chicken feed can promote the metabolism of chickens and accelerate growth, but if it is excessive, it will lead to metabolic disorders and even serious direct poisoning.

Since that salt poisoning incident, Wang Fumin has been a little more careful when mixing ingredients, and strictly controlled the dosage when adding some things.

The live chicken market has become panicked by the excessive publicity of avian flu in the media, especially in the big cities, where more than half of the people buy live chickens in the live chicken market.

The lower the price, the fewer people will buy; The fewer people buy, the lower the price. Such a vicious circle makes chicken farmers feel that this cold winter of raising chickens seems to be unbearable.

Farmers are like this, small-scale farmers, management experience, breeding experience, risk-taking ability, market research ability are very lacking, if you want to make money, you can only rely on the sky to eat. If you are lucky, you will make a profit when you catch up with the good market, and if you are unlucky, you will lose money from time to time.

There are three major risks for farmers: the first is the risk of breeding, catching up with avian flu, Newcastle disease or something, leaving no piece of armor, and how much to invest with; The second is market risk, the market fluctuates, there are good times and bad times, and not only the price of live chickens fluctuates, feed prices, chicken drug prices fluctuate, there are risks for farmers; The third is the physical risk, the chicken coop environment is not good, the physical injury to the farmers is obvious, and the first two weeks of the chicken seedlings are particularly hard, the body of the farmers is a certain test, if the body is exhausted because of the chickens, then the meaning of raising chickens is not at all.

Wang Shaodong is different from other farmers, he has more than ten years of memories of raising chickens and live chicken markets, and stringing these memories together can be very convenient for him to raise chickens. At the same time, the experience of raising chickens that I heard from my father fifteen years ago is more than enough now. Also, because of the previous two guarantees, Wang Shaodong's mentality of raising chickens is very good, and once this person's mentality is good, no matter what he does, the chance of getting sick is small.

Another important point is that Wang Shaodong has been a salesman for ten years in his previous life, and he has no worries about selling things.

In this way, Ma Zhentang and He Jiaxiang, two chicken farmers, have watched the market price of live chickens fall again and again since the beginning of winter, and the enthusiasm for raising chickens is not as good as before.

He Jiaqing was in a better mood, but he also felt that their chickens would definitely lose money.

Wang Shaodong remembers clearly that the price of live chickens began to rise suddenly on the eighth day of the lunar month, which was about to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Before that, the price of live chickens in the market had been around four yuan. The price of cart chickens, because of the sluggish market, is pressed again and again, and the price is only more than two yuan and one catty.

2,000 chickens, raised to four and a half months of slaughter, the total investment is about 30,000 yuan, the average growth is about five catties, and the total weight can reach about 10,000 catties.

Retailing for four yuan a pound seems to make money, but the retail sales speed of the market is very slow, and if you don't wholesale to chicken dealers, you can sell 30 chickens a day, which will take a total of 2 months to sell. And if you wholesale to chicken dealers, you can sell more than 100 chickens a day, but the price will come down by one dollar. At the same time, in two months, it will increase the cost of feed by 15,000 yuan. Fortunately, the cost of feed is high, and the weight of the chickens will also increase. As soon as the two are offset, if you go to the market for retail, you basically don't lose money.

Therefore, seeing that the price of live chickens and carts of chickens did not rise, Ma Zhentang chatted with Wang Fumin when he talked about it, saying that it was the batch of chickens they are raising now, and it seems that they have to sell them in the market so as not to lose money.

The chickens they raise don't lose money, and then He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang help the Wang family raise chickens, and they can get 4,000 yuan of hard-earned money at the end of the year, and they can also have a good year.

As for Ma Zhentang, because he got such a cheap set of cage chicken coop equipment, even if he lost money for a batch of chickens, he should be happy.

However, there is also a big risk of selling in the market, that is, the chickens in the market are more mixed, and they will infect each other with chicken diseases, and if you bring the chicken disease back to your own chicken coop, it will be troublesome.

Wang Fumin didn't tell Ma Zhentang that his son signed a contract for the recycling of old chickens with the fried chicken restaurant in Qishan, because he told others about it, and other people's mentality was a little unbalanced.

Wang Shaodong told his father, and now everyone naturally thinks that the chickens that everyone is on now are going to lose money, and then they sympathize with each other and encourage each other. Then if one day everyone finds out in advance that the Wang family's chickens will not only not lose money, but also make a lot of money, then they will be jealous.

You know, the other three chicken farmers still help the Wang family raise chickens, if they start to be jealous of the Wang family, the chickens that help the Wang family raise will fall into the hands of the stepmother, and they will be guilty.

After the Wang family's chickens were slaughtered, Ma Zhentang persuaded the Wang family to sell chickens in the market, and then Wang Fumin said wait and see.

Moreover, Wang Fumin really has little time to sell chickens. He still has 24,000 chickens on the farm, and he has to add this feed every day for a while.

After raising 24,000 chickens for three months, they have to eat nearly one ton of feed a day, which is more than 1,500 yuan. By the time it was five months, the daily feed consumption was two and a half tons, close to four thousand yuan.

The feed of the Wang family is stored in their own house, and then when the feed is filled every day, Wang Fumin and Wang Shaodong, father and son, use a small cart to push it to the other three chicken farmers.

Everyone watched the money invested by the Wang family day by day, and they were also shocked.

Aquaculture industry, high risk, also high returns, bet right, you will make a lot of money, the same if you lose the bet, it will also lose everything.

Wang Fumin's chickens did not move when they were slaughtered, and then nearly a month later, Ma Zhentang's chickens also arrived at the time of slaughter.

Ma Zhentang did not choose to take the chickens in a big cart, but began to ride a motorcycle, with a large pannier basket in the back, which was full of chickens, and then began to go to the township market every day to catch up with the market and sell chickens.

Ma Zhentang went to sell chickens, and the Wang family was even busier. You must know that in Ma Zhentang's chicken coop, there are 10,000 chickens of the Wang family.

Although he signed a contract with Ma Zhentang, because Ma Zhentang's chickens are about to be sold now, it is indeed difficult, so Wang Fumin also expressed his understanding of Ma Zhentang, saying that the Wang family's chickens in their chicken coop are also taken care of by the Wang family.

After another two weeks, the chickens that He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang had at the beginning were also slaughtered, and then the two of them also followed Ma Zhentang and began to sell chickens in the market.

In this way, during the day, Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang had to go to the market to sell chickens, and then almost all the chickens in the house fell on the daughters-in-law of the three families plus Wang Shaodong's family.

The price of live chickens has not improved day by day, and then it has been boiled until the wax moon, and there are not many chickens in everyone's hands, and then suddenly found that the live chicken market has begun to rise in price!

Winter is over, spring is coming!
