Chapter 6 The chick emerges from the shell
After more than half an hour, the husband and wife came back, and at this time, Su Yu had already entered the house to rest.
As soon as he entered the house, Su Yu turned over the eggs in the basin one by one, if you want the chick to have a high shell rate, then you have to turn the eggs frequently, Su Yu turned over several times overnight, so that I didn't sleep well all night, and when I got up, I was dark and green, but this is also a helpless thing, here is not as modern as modern, but fortunately, she has nothing to do, she can make up for sleep during the day, as for the old house her grandfather is going to have a birthday, she is also powerless now.
After a few days, the soil of the two acres of land has been turned over and watered, and the seedlings have been planted in the field, and the husband and wife have not rested for a day, Su Lao Er went to the dock to carry a big bag, and the Lian family went to wash clothes for a family in the town, and in the evening, the husband and wife went home with their son.
Nineteen days have passed since the first day of egg hatching, and today is the key, whether you can hatch chicks depends on today. Early in the morning, Su Yu stayed next to the egg, and today's egg is not covered with cotton wool, and the eggshell is directly exposed, and Su Yu is lying on the side of the bed, holding his chin with both hands, and watching whether the eggs in the basin are moving.
In fact, Su Yu does not dare to guarantee whether it can hatch chicks, although in modern times she is to help her grandparents hatch, but the ancient conditions are too backward, and there is no thermal insulation lamp or anything, she is really a little worried, thinking that if it can't hatch out, forget it, she is thinking of other ways, but it's a pity that the egg can not hatch a hundred dollars, if these eggs can't hatch chicks, eggs can't be eaten, even if they can't hatch, they must be some unformed chicks, as for the hairy eggs eaten by people in Henan, I'm sorry, She couldn't get that thing out of her mouth.
Thinking about it in his head, a slight crisp sound came from his ears, Su Yu hurriedly looked down, an egg cracked a crack, and then the crack became bigger and bigger, and soon, a hairy head broke through the eggshell and was exposed. Su Yu was pleasantly surprised, it seems that she succeeded, as long as one hatches, I believe there will be a second and third, but I don't know how many chicks these fifty eggs can hatch, but don't let her down.
Didn't let Su Yu wait too long, soon, and then the second and third chicks broke out of the shell, after more than an hour, seeing that the remaining eggs would not come out of the chicks, Su Yu took out the remaining ten eggs inside, knocked them one by one, eight of them were not formed, two of the chicks in one did not survive, and the other made Su Yu a little surprised, the chicks were still alive after knocking, this is good, fifty eggs hatched a total of forty-one chicks, such a result is what Su Yu never expected, At first, I thought it would be good to have half the probability, but I didn't expect there to be forty-one.
Take out a small basket made in advance, a few chicks will be there first, and when you see the chicks, you don't have to worry about not having a chicken pen, and then let the father and the eldest brother build one.
Su Yu took the basket and moved to the yard, found a leeward place for the chickens to bask in the sun, and then went to the vegetable garden to get some tender radish leaves, finely chopped and sprinkled in the basket, the chickens saw the vegetable leaves, one by one bowed their heads and ate them, which was accompanied by the chirping of the chickens.
At night, as soon as a family of three stepped into the yard, they heard the chirping sound from the yard, and the three of them were stunned! Where did the chicks come from? Could it be that the girl (little sister) bought it? The three of them thought to themselves at the same time. I don't know how much it cost, and as for the first fifty eggs hatching chicks, they have long forgotten about it.
Lian's will start calculating, how much money she has on hand to buy chickens for her daughter, and after calculating, she can't even take out a copper plate, and she is suddenly tired.
"Dad, you're back."
Su Yu heard the sound at the gate of the courtyard in the house, and immediately walked out of the house, smiling happily on his face.
"Dad, big brother, build me a chicken pen when you have time."
"Hey, when I'm free, my dad will take a ride with your eldest brother, it's just a girl, how many have you bought!?"
Su Lao Er was a little worried when he asked this, and he didn't let his daughter buy it, but she had already bought it, and she had bought a lot of it, but this silver, Su Lao Er couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking about whether he wanted to borrow some from Heizi, but the previous borrowing had not been repaid, and Heizi's family was not rich.
"Dad, have you forgotten about hatching chicks some time ago, and you forgot about those fifty eggs?"
"What! Chicks really do you hatch. ”
"Of course, your daughter's ability is now great, fifty eggs hatched a total of forty-one chicks, I saw it today, there are twenty-six hens in it, and the remaining fifteen are roosters, our family can pick up eggs and sell them for money after four months, and then hatch more chicks, raise chickens and lay more eggs, so that chickens lay eggs and chickens, and soon be able to set up a chicken farm, maybe our family can raise hundreds of chickens in the future."
The more Su Yu talked, the happier he became.
Although he knew that what his daughter said was unrealistic, he still heard that the three of them were hot, if that was the case, why not pay off the debts owed by their family.
Several people entered the stove house, and Su Yu pointed to the chicken coop in the corner to show the three of them.
"Now, these are the chicks that hatched today, but they are beautiful, they are still young, so I will put them in the stove house first, and it will be warmer at night."
The family of four looked at the chicks in the basket and was so happy, they really didn't expect that the old woman told the method of hatching chicks turned out to be true, and they could really hatch chicks, which was really amazing, they had never heard of hatching chicks without an old hen.
However, Su Lao Er's heart still feels that his own daughter is powerful, if he tells others, others will definitely listen to it as a joke, and it is impossible to really hatch chicks, and only his daughter has done it, look, this is his Su Lao Er's daughter, it is different.
During the meal, Su Lao Er was very happy.
"Girl, it's too late today, tomorrow I'll cut a few bamboos with your eldest brother by the way, and the chicken pen can be built overnight."
"That's great, but Dad, you can't be tired, the chickens are still young now, and they will be fine in a few days."
"It's okay, Dad is not tired, Dad is fine."
Su Sheng rarely felt that his little sister had done a serious thing, but he didn't have any ideas in his heart.
"Dad, mother, you see that I can hatch chicks now, can we buy some more eggs and hatch dozens more, otherwise just rely on these chicks now, when will we be able to pay off the debt?"
"Girl, chickens are all to eat, what do we feed if we raise too much, or let's raise these first."
In fact, Su Lao Er and Lian's are a little worried, although their daughter has hatched chicks, she doesn't know anything about raising chickens, she has never raised them before, but she has helped feed chickens in the old house, and it is not certain whether these chicks can grow up.
