The Blue Arrow 630 entered the small natural pier of Yunsha Island in the wind and waves.

Lai Shun'er and the two took the gangplank to get on the boat and carried the items on the back deck according to Jiang Yichen's instructions. Fortunately, the things themselves were wrapped in plastic sheeting, and the surface was covered with tarpaulin, so they were not wet by the waves.

"Brother Chenzi, you can really do it, you dare to go to sea with such a strong wind." Kiko admired while carrying things.

"You think I'm foolish? I didn't know until I came out, and I didn't want to turn back. It's hard to be scared along the way, so don't think about it. Jiang Yichen hurriedly explained, saving the two boys from doing the same.

"Sailing in this storm is also a technical job, which is exciting enough. Brother Chenzi, teach me, in the future, the transportation will be wrapped up in me, and you don't have to worry about it. "Kiko is still pestering.

"Go, wait until the weather is good before opening. Running to the sea to play exciting, how about living enough? Well, bring this bag with you. Jiang Yichen refused without hesitation, and instructed Xizi to carry a package in the cabin.

Lai Shun'er patted Xizi on the shoulder and motioned for him to hurry up and work less nonsense.

Half an hour later, the trio moved the cargo to the base of the cave. The wind was still whining along the way, and it seemed that it would not stop for a short time.

Jiang Yichen took off his backpack and observed at the platform at the entrance of the cave, there was only a little whirlwind nearby, it seemed that the half-moon cliff in the north had been used as a barrier, which had blocked most of the wind, and it was really a natural good place to live.

I looked in the direction of the chicken coop to the south, and there seemed to be no movement.

"Brother Chenzi. The chickens are all locked up. Didn't dare to release it. Lai Shun'er seemed to understand what he meant, and quickly explained.

Jiang Yichen took a few steps. Come to the chicken coop. The chicken coop has been altered, and the fence and bamboo mats have been expanded outwards by more than a meter.

Looking inside, I saw all kinds of chickens and cubs encircled inside, some napping, some strolling, and some drinking, humming and cooing, and the whole was quite quiet.

However, there has been a big change from the previous days. One is that the chicken coop is much smaller. Although the fence has been enlarged, the reason is very simple: the chickens are about sixty years old, and they are far from being the same size as they were at the beginning.

The second is that their form has also changed a lot, due to the different varieties, some have completed the second moulting. The dorsal feathers are crisp and shiny, showing significant appearance characteristics. Some are in the moulting cycle, bald, bare-necked, and look very ugly. There were even bare-ass chicks, but they still walked the catwalk with their heads held high and without any sense of shame.

"Huh. It's ugly. Jiang Yichen looked at these guys and couldn't help but be happy.

"The chickens are all like little farts children. It'll be beautiful in a few days. Lai Shun'er also came to the door of the chicken coop and said a word.

"That's right, I remember you dragging a big snot all day. It's okay to climb the house up the tree, and there is a cut on the back of the pants. Everything is revealed, and the glorious image is no different from these. Jiang Yichen pointed to a moulting chicken cub who walked forward and said with a smile.

"Brother Chenzi, don't bring such a burying person. Go, stay and go. Lai Shun'er saw that the bare-chested chicken actually came to her to swagger, and couldn't help frowning and reprimanding it.

The chicks were frightened, spread their hairless wings and ran away.

Lai Shun'er took a look at the water bowl in the chicken coop, then picked up the plastic flat bucket next to it, opened the door and walked in, refilling each bowl with some, and the chicken next to him immediately came over to drink.

"Hehe, alright. Let's get down to business, what's going on with these little guys lately? Jiang Yichen asked about the situation of these poultry.

"I'm healthy, and I don't have any diseases. A few days ago, a grass snake came over and bit one to death. Now there are one hundred and fourteen left. "Come to Shun'er to report the situation. At the same time, put the bucket back in its place.

"And snakes, I really haven't seen them before. Toxic not? Hearing that there were traces of snakes on the island, Jiang Yichen was a little nervous, if a poisonous snake bites someone, it will be troublesome, there is no hospital antivenom on the island or anything.

"No, it's just an ordinary grass flower snake, non-venomous, more than half a meter long. As soon as these chickens crowed, I took a stick and beat them, but it was too late and they were bitten to death, and I didn't have time to drag them away, so I ran away from the grass on the other side. Lai Shun'er withdrew with the bucket in his hand, pointing to the grass under the south slope.

If it's not poisonous, that's good, at least people won't have accidents. Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've been looking for it for the past few days, grabbing the soup. Avenge the chicks. Lai Shun'er said angrily, and kicked a stone on the ground with her foot.

"Forget it, there are not many snakes on the island, and they are not venomous. Keep it, maybe you can catch the mouse. Just pay attention to the chickens here. Jiang Yichen shook his head and dissuaded.

Although he doesn't have much affection for this cold-blooded reptile, he understands that it is also part of nature's ecological balance system.

In particular, as a natural enemy of rats, it can burrow into rat holes to hunt, and its lethality can be much more powerful than that of cats. It plays a great role in suppressing the breeding and proliferation of rats.

He told this truth to Lai Shun'er, who also expressed his understanding, and said that after a while, these chickens will grow up a little more, with sharp beaks and sharp claws, and they will not dare to provoke the snake.

Jiang Yichen stood by the chicken coop and continued to learn about the situation of the chicken cubs from Lai Shun'er.

Lai Shun'er told him that as long as the weather is good, these chickens are usually free-range during the day and forage for food on their own.

The chicken coop water bowl has always been filled with nutritious water from the stone pit next to the gourd depression.

In terms of supplementing food, in addition to millet and corn residue, the old vegetable leaves in the vegetable field are also chopped and added to feed together. Overall, it looks like it grows a lot faster than the chai chicken in my hometown, and it has a good physique, and basically never gets sick. Except for the occasional injuries in fights with each other, they also recovered quickly after taking the medicine.

"When do you think you'll be able to eat meat and lay eggs?" Jiang Yichen is very concerned about this, and poultry farming is also an important part of the island's agricultural composition.

Lai Shun'er said that according to the current progress, it is estimated that the rooster can reach more than two kilograms in about four months, and the hen may be able to lay eggs in more than five months. You must know that in my hometown, Mopanzi Village, the time required for the above two items is about half a year and eight months.

Jiang Yichen pondered for a while, and according to various breeding experiments from last year to this year, it can basically be determined that space ice water has the strongest ability to promote the growth of plants, followed by aquatic animals, and poultry on land again. According to this principle, it is estimated that domestic animals such as goats, donkeys, horses, and cattle are larger, and they are probably slower.

Compared with white ice, the strong efficiency of green ice is reflected in the dilution ratio and frost resistance of crops, and the advantages of the latter do not seem to be very obvious compared with the effect of growth. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
