In the evening, Yan Siqin reluctantly took out the little money he had at home, "Nu, here you go, I saved this amount of money by selling eggs, and I haven't let it heat up yet, it's all for you, it's enough for this." ”

After receiving a few big pieces of unity, Zhao Liangsheng thought a little in his heart, "It should be enough, that is, to repair the roof and repair the doors and windows, I think it's about the same." ”

"If we want to raise chickens, we can't just repair the house, don't buy chickens? Don't build a chicken coop? Don't buy chicken food anymore? It's all money, and I can tell you, we really don't have any money. ”

Zhao Liangsheng was speechless, why is it so difficult to do something without money, he frowned, "Morning damn, if we don't build a chicken coop first, just put it in the house and let them run, and see if the chicks can come back on credit from the hatchery first......"

"You think of good things!" Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Yan Siqin, "It takes at least three or five hundred chickens to run a small family farm, who will give us credit?" If someone else buys our goods, are you willing to give out on credit? ”

That's what he said, Zhao Liangsheng smacked his lips, "If you can't do it, you will sell a batch of our big chickens, and those who pick up the roosters and lay eggs are not diligent to sell them first, and then make up for them later." ”

Yan Siqin nodded, "That's it." ”

The next day, Zhao Liangsheng first went to prepare some materials, and then found the village bricklayer, and in just one day, the repaired places were repaired. He took out all the miscellaneous items in the house, vacated the house, covered it with straw and sand, and waited for the chicks to move in.

Recently, Yan Siqin has been relatively idle, and when he is not busy, he thinks a lot in his head, and when he is fine, he thinks of Coco: Even though the child is ten years old, I don't know how my daughter is now? How tall? This little one has no conscience, and this walk is like a mud cow into the sea, and there is no faith at all.

Zhao Liangsheng rushed to the market for a few days, sold one-third of the family's big chickens, scraped together enough money to buy chicken seedlings, and first went to the farm to buy 500 chickens and came back.

They are all local breeds that are often raised, commonly known as local chickens, like variegated fluffy small pompoms, with a tender yellow mouth chirping non-stop, small and black round eyes, and two small black legs running fast.

Yan Siqin and his wife are busier, fortunately, the chickens in the old house have less to worry about, and every day the leading chickens take them to the hill to forage for food, they just need to fill the trough with feed, and those who are not full will come over to fill their stomachs.

The farm has a lot to worry about, mainly because the chicks that have just hatched for a long time are particularly difficult to serve, and they can be strained to death if they are not careful, so Zhao Liangsheng specially bought feed suitable for the chickens to eat and fed them for a few days.

At the beginning, it was very smooth, but when the chickens were raised to tie the old arms, there were three or two chickens drooping their heads at first, Yan Siqin didn't care at first, there were so many chickens, it was inevitable to squeeze one or two to death, and gradually there were kicks every day, Yan Siqin was anxious, she had raised chickens for so many years, and death like this has not happened, could it be chicken plague? But it's not like, chicken plague is a piece of death, and it's not a few dead today, a few dead tomorrow, could it be that there is a problem with the chicken seedlings? Yan Siqin carried the dead chicken and pulled Zhao Liangsheng to the hatchery.

Chengda farm, is a set of hatching, breeding in one of the small and medium-sized farms, the boss is a woman, because there is a hand of soil artificial incubation of chicks technology, every year to come to her to buy chicken seedlings a lot of people, she saw that the market demand is quite large, on the purchase of incubation machines, set up this hatchery.

Cheng Fang just came out of a batch of chicken seedlings, the incubator was finished poisoning and was sitting on the bench resting, when she looked up, she saw two people coming from outside, she was quite impressed by the man, not long ago she just bought five hundred chicken seedlings from her, and she could get five hundred chicken seedlings here at a time, which was also a big customer for her, and immediately stood up with a smile, "Brother Zhao is here, is this time still here to buy chicken seedlings?" ”

"Don't mention it." Zhao Liangsheng took the dead chicken from Yan Siqin's hand with a bitter face and put it in front of Cheng Fang, "Boss Cheng, look at this chicken, I don't know what's going on, a few die every day, if it goes on like this, the chicken will have to die almost before it grows up." ”

"Impossible!" Cheng Fang looked at the two of them suspiciously, and then pinched the chicken leg and lifted it up to observe, "I dare to guarantee that the chicken seedlings hatched at my house did not ask any questions, and after hatching, each of them was vaccinated with Marek's disease bivalent vaccines, and the nose and eye were dripped with medicine in seven days, which is to prevent the chickens from getting sick." ”

"What's the nose and eye?" Yan Siqin heard this word for the first time, she has been raising chickens for so many years, and she has never heard of newly hatched chicks dripping their noses and eyes.

Listening to this tone, you know that this person is not an expert, Cheng Fang patiently explained, "That's the case, this artificially incubated chicken and the chicken hatched by the hen are not the same thing, the chicks with chicken mothers have much stronger disease resistance, and artificially hatched chickens are not good, and seven days after hatching, Newcastle disease should be used to nob and nod their eyes to enhance their disease resistance." ”

"Oh." Yan Siqin didn't understand it even more, "You have all your nose and eyes, so why are you still dead?" ”

"Oh, big sister, can this drop of nose and eye be managed for a lifetime? Chickens, like humans, need to be vaccinated frequently. Cheng Fang asked Zhao Liangsheng with a smile, "Is it a chicken seedling, you haven't been vaccinated once after you went home?" ”

"I don't know." Zhao Liangsheng shook his head, "My family raises chickens all year round, and I haven't had any vaccinations, and I haven't seen anyone sick." ”

"Brother Zhao, I thought you knew everything, I told you when I knew that you were taking chicken seedlings, this chicken is very knowledgeable." Cheng Fang pulled over two chairs and warmly invited the two to sit down, "Come, sit here, I'll give you a good talk." As she spoke, she poured two more glasses of water and put them in the hands of the two of them, "If you want me to say, you two are bold enough, and you dare to enter more chicks over there at once before you understand anything!" ”

Yan Siqin blushed with ridicule, but she was still not convinced, "I have raised chickens for many years, and they have always been good, so I thought that raising chickens was no coincidence, just don't let them be thirsty and hungry, how could I have thought that this chicken would be so squeamish." ”

Cheng Fang: "The chickens you raise must have been brought out by old hens, and they have never been hatched by this kind of machine." ”

Yan Siqin nodded, "Well, let the old hen hold the nest when she holds it, I haven't bought chicken seedlings, this time I raised a lot, and the child's father heard that your chicken seedlings here are good, so he came over." ”

Cheng Fang: "My guess is, let me tell you, the machine-hatched chicks need centralized vaccination shots." ”

"Wait a minute." Zhao Liangsheng interrupted Cheng Fang's words, "Boss Cheng, please give me a pen and paper, and I'll write it down." ”

"Yes, yes, look at my brain." Yan Siqin was also busy saying: "No matter how good your memory is, it's not as good as a bad pen, give me a pen and paper, and I will study hard." ”

"First of all, I do the one-day-old and seven-day-old vaccines, and generally you don't need to take them, what you need to do is the vaccine that you need to use from the fourteenth day, this vaccine prevents bursitis, and the poisoned strain vaccine is used to add it to the water in a simple way. Twenty-one days of chicken pox thorn seeds, with chicken pox I line seedlings, this is more troublesome, I guess you won't, look at it, I'll teach you by hand. Cheng Fang said this, picked up the dead chicken on the table, spread the chicken wings, pointed to the position below the tip of the wings and said: "This is here, this is called subcutaneous and wing membrane thorns, and the syringe will inject the potion into it." ”

Zhao Liangsheng and Yan Siqin hurriedly stepped forward, carefully observed and remembered in the direction of Cheng Fang's finger, Zhao Liangsheng was afraid that he would not be able to remember, and drew a sketch of chicken wings, marking an arrow at the position where the needle was needed.

Cheng Fang saw that the two of them remembered almost, and continued to explain, "On the 28th day, to prevent bursitis, use the poisoned strain bursitis vaccine, which is also mixed into drinking water, and prevent Newcastle disease and transmission in 30 days, with IV. seedlings plus H52, at this time, it is necessary to carry out a combination of nose drops and drinking water, and the dosage of drinking water vaccine is doubled, and when it is 60 days to prevent Newcastle disease, use chicken Xincheng I line vaccine, or intramuscular injection, and it is necessary to prevent Newcastle disease and chicken infectious bronchitis in 120 days. Egg reduction syndrome, inactivated seedlings with Newcastle disease, transmission branches, and egg reduction syndrome oil emulsion, the use method is intramuscular injection. ”

Cheng Fang told Zhao Liangsheng and his wife all the vaccines needed during the growth of chickens in one breath and said: "After the one hundred and twenty-day-old vaccine is completed, there is generally nothing to do, just feed it normally, of course, normal epidemic prevention has to be done, some vaccines have an epidemic prevention period, some are in charge of three or four months, and the longest can be managed for one and a half years, these are all done, as long as there is no epidemic of new epidemics, it has no impact on them, so do you understand?" ”

Obediently, I didn't expect such a big knowledge as raising a chicken! The husband and wife glanced at each other, thinking that it had been more than a month since the 300 chickens in their house were pulled back, and they had not been vaccinated once, Yan Siqin was afraid for a while: It's good if the chickens don't die clean!

Zhao Liangsheng asked: "Boss Cheng, what should I do if my chickens have been in my house for more than a month, and I missed the vaccine?" Can I still make it up? ”

"Don't worry, I can make it up, I'll find you two books, it's very clear how to raise chickens." Cheng Fang turned around and opened the door of the bookcase, took out two books from inside, she patted the book and said: "These books were used when I first learned to raise chickens, and the knowledge in them is very practical, give them to the two of you, take them back and study hard." ”

Yan Siqin hurriedly took it, and thanked him with a stack of thanks, "Thank you Boss Cheng, thank you Boss Cheng." ”

"Thanks for what!" Cheng Fang smiled heartily: "As long as you raise chickens well, you can thank me for buying more chicken seedlings from me when you go back." ”

Zhao Liangsheng asked, "Boss Cheng, where do I have to buy the vaccine?" ”

"Go to the animal husbandry station in the township, where all vaccines are available."

Zhao Liangsheng and his wife returned home, studied the books given by Cheng Fang several times, and came back with vaccines and syringes from the animal husbandry station.
