Chapter 0128 The free-range chicken trial was successful
The sunshine in spring is always so bright, the second month of the lunar calendar is about to end, and the third month of spring is coming soon.
Wang Shaodong has been raising chicks on Songbai Mountain for more than 20 days, and now they are several times longer than when they first came, and their hard hairs have grown.
The purpose of raising chickens in the mountains is to be able to raise chickens in the mountains like raising pigs and sheep, and if it can be successful, then the cost of feed can be saved a large piece, and the profit of raising chickens will increase by a large piece.
Moreover, the free-range chickens, because they ate the grass seeds and insects on the mountain, and exercised themselves in the running on the mountain, must taste much better than those raised in the greenhouse chicken coop.
In order to say that in the future, the two most important problems to be solved are how to reach the stocking destination of the chickens, and secondly, how to ensure that the chickens will not be lost at the stocking destination.
In response to the first question, when the chickens were still small, 500 chickens, now a total of less than 400 catties, put the chickens in the cage, and then use a tractor to pull them to the place where they need to be stocked. However, when the chickens weigh four or five pounds, and so many chickens weigh one or two tons, let alone one tractor, three tractors are not easy to transport.
Since Wang Shaodong and they went up the mountain, they have been thinking about this problem.
In the end, Zheng Tao came up with an idea.
Zheng Tao's idea was to use a two-meter-wide plastic screen window to build a narrow tunnel between the chicken coop and the destination of the free-range chickens, and then a person knocked on the basin in front of him to lead the chickens to their destination.
The chickens have a characteristic, that is, they like to run in one direction together, and because there is a corridor to block them, the occasionally naughty chickens will not run to other places, and behind the chickens, there are Wang Shaodong and Zheng Hui after the break, so that nothing goes wrong.
On the first day of herding chickens, the three young people chose a free-range destination that was very close to their chicken coop, only 30 meters away, so the length of the corridor was only 30 meters. In fact, Wang Shaodong bought a total of 5,000 meters of gauze net, which can pave a two-and-a-half-kilometer road, and the entire Songbai Mountain can basically be fully covered.
Then the solution to the second problem is also to use the screen to besiege a large area, and then one person patrols outside the screen to beware of small animals, especially rabbits, etc., to make trouble and break the screen, and the other two people manage the chickens inside the screen.
Different places need to enclose different areas, and it is generally enough to enclose an area of 1,000 square meters for 500 chickens to move. The small insects in such a large range, grass seeds, pine seeds, etc., are enough for the chickens to eat.
There are too many pine seeds on Songbai Mountain, bend down and hold a handful of soil casually, and there are several pine seeds.
In this way, Wang Shaodong bought a total of 5,500 meters and two meters wide gauze.
These gauze nets are strung with iron wires underneath, and then supported by a bamboo pole every three meters. Moreover, the repaired roads and free-range chicken places should be fed with some more feed, at least to ensure that the chickens eat grass seeds and insects there for a week. Therefore, after repairing the corridor at one time, it can be used for a week in a row.
Then, while the natural free-range chicken farm here is still in use, another free-range chicken farm and Yongdao can be built.
In the whole Songbai Mountain, I dare not say that when there are 30,000 chickens, the food source can be guaranteed.
And the 500 chickens that Wang Shaodong and they are raising now don't need to go far at all, they can find enough food within 30 meters of Wang Shaodong's chicken coop.
The outer screen of the corridor and the chicken farm had been laid out the day before, and it had been checked several times to make sure that there were no big gaps in the wire at the bottom of the screen for the chicks to get out.
On the day of the chickens, when the sun came out, Wang Shaodong and the others began to act.
Originally, these chickens lived in a small chicken coop with an area of only 10 square meters, and now after several expansions, their range of activities has reached 50 square meters.
The door of the chicken coop opened, and Zheng Hui entered the chicken coop to drive the chickens outside, while Zheng Tao held a basin and stick in his hand, and beat the basin with a wooden stick while calling the chickens in his mouth.
For today's operation, in fact, Wang Shaodong and they have been preparing. For example, now Zheng Tao is beating the basin with a wooden stick, and a conditioned reflex has already been formed in the chick's heart.
Every time the three of them feed the chickens, they will do this kind of action, and over time, when the chickens hear such movements, they will think that it is time to eat, and immediately run to the person who beats the basin with a wooden stick.
Zheng Hui is at the back of the flock to make sure that no chickens are left behind.
Wang Shaodong was on the outside of the screen to make sure that no chickens would come out.
However, while following the chickens to the destination, Wang Shaodong noticed the problem in his heart.
If the chicken gets out of his side, he can catch the chicken quickly and then plug the loophole quickly, but if he finds a problem on the other side, then he can't do anything.
It seems that the next step is to hire someone to help him raise chickens.
The next step is to wait until the scale of pine seed chicken farming on Songbai Mountain continues to expand, and then every day just to build Yongdao and free-range chicken farms will need a lot of manpower, and it seems that there are still a lot of people to be hired on Songbai Mountain.
According to Wang Shaodong's own plan, the scale of raising chickens on the entire Songbai Mountain will reach 30,000.
Because the free-range chicken farm is relatively close today, Wang Shaodong and the others soon drove 500 chickens to the destination.
The chicks, who have been living in a small space of 50 square meters, suddenly came to a huge space of 1,000 square meters, and they all felt excited.
Zheng Tao first sprinkled some feed on the 500 chickens to ensure conditioned reflexes, and then ran to the place where the Yongdao and the free-range chicken coop were bounded, and blocked the exit of the Yongdao with a gauze net.
"Hahahaha, Brother Dong, these chicks are so happy. ”
Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao were very excited, and the chicks first ran a few laps together, and then slowly began to scatter around looking for food to eat.
Wang Shaodong and the others had already fed these chickens to the insects on the mountain, so when they arrived here, they were not afraid of the little insects they saw at all, and they devoured them, and after a big earthworm was searched, they were swallowed by a chicken that was not very big.
Looking at everything in front of him, Wang Shaodong's heart was simply happy.
"Great, great, Zheng Hui Zheng Tao, we succeeded!"
The hardships and sins suffered in the mountains these days are totally worth it!
