MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-Chapter 375 chicken matchmaker, relative

  Chapter 375 Chicken matchmaker, relative

  The old hen in the hatching period is unreasonable.

  Not to mention human beings, even the family dogs dare to stretch out their mouths and peck fiercely when they come close.

  The brooding hens in the chicken coop were like this. Wang Susu said that they laid eggs frequently for four or five days, and then they suddenly nested in the bushes on the hillside.

   I don't know if it's because people often go to pick up eggs, and they don't go back to the chicken coops that Chen Ling built for them on the hillside to hold their eggs.

   Later, when Chen Ling found out, he asked the puppies to chase them away, but they even pecked Erhei very ferociously.

   In the end, Chen Ling carried them back to the chicken coop.

   This is also because they are afraid that they will be frightened by dogs. It is not good to stimulate these old hens.

   Just here, I accidentally got hit twice, the back of my hand was pecked so badly that it almost broke the skin.

   "Okay, Zhenzhen, don't fight with it, it should really peck you in a while."

  At this moment, Chen Ling climbed over the fence and walked into the chicken coop. Behind him, Wang Susu and the two actresses also opened the fence door of the chicken coop and walked in.

   "Hmph, I just thought it was too disobedient. Last year I caught grasshoppers and tadpoles for them, but they actually pecked at me."

Wang Zhenzhen yelled indignantly, and then squatted in front of the big pheasant, pinching the big pheasant's mouth and head, regardless of the big pheasant's struggle, then turned around and shouted: "Brother-in-law, quickly release the eggs, I will pinch the chicken's mouth and head." Shut it up."

  Chen Ling put the two old raven eggs and one cuckoo egg under the old hen's belly.

   "Okay, let's go."

  Wang Zhenzhen spread the big flower chicken as he said, and the big flower chicken barked at her angrily.

  The two actresses were very frightened and hid behind Wang Susu.

   "It's okay, don't be afraid, the old hen in the nest has hatched and won't move."

  Seeing this, Wang Susu comforted them with a smile.

  The two women looked over there, and the big flower chicken croaked twice angrily, then lay down on the eggs and eggs again, and hatched steadily.

   Sure enough, there is no place to move.

  Although it is very fierce, it has always stood firm and will not run out to peck people indiscriminately.

   The two women breathed a sigh of relief, and they were not so scared anymore.

At this time, Wang Susu saw her younger sister went to the side to catch a smaller reed chicken again, so she called out to the little girl: "True, don't do that with the eggs of these two older sisters, you put them in the chicken." In front of it, when it saw the egg, it pulled it under its stomach by itself, so don't worry about it."

   "Ah? Is this okay? Sister, don't fool me." Wang Zhenzhen turned around, not believing it.

   "I didn't fool you, if you don't believe me, ask your brother-in-law."

  Hearing what his sister said, Wang Zhenzhen twitched his pigtails, turned his head and looked at Chen Ling with questioning eyes.

  Chen Ling smiled and stroked the little girl's braid twice: "Is it fooling you, you will know if you try it."

   "Okay, then I'll try, hee hee."

  Wang Zhenzhen clapped his hands away and smiled.

   Then he took two eggs and gently placed them in front of the reed chicken, and pushed them forward: "Here, I'll give you two more babies, will you hatch them or not?"

  The two actresses next to her also watched intently.

Seeing the two eggs, the reed hen stood up without saying a word, pulled the eggs in front of him with his beak, and moved his head quickly, stuffing the two eggs one by one. under his stomach.

   Then he sat down firmly.

   "Wow, it's amazing, this hen can actually pick up eggs and hatch by itself, even bird eggs can."

  When the two actresses saw this scene, as if they had discovered some new world, they rushed to the front, squatting down with curious eyes and watching non-stop.

  Wang Zhenzhen also clapped his hands happily and said: "It's fun, I'll give it two more bird eggs."

Hearing this, Chen Ling held her down: "Don't take the eggs, what are you doing hatching so many birds? Isn't this enough for you to play with? If you want to hatch eggs, go and bring some goose eggs and duck eggs you just picked up in the morning, and hatch them for them." Got it."

   "Hey, okay, I'll get it now."

   Bird eggs are not allowed, and duck and goose eggs are the same. Wang Zhenzhen nodded quickly and ran out.

   After a while, he ran back with the basket.

  The basket contained some duck eggs and goose eggs.

   Then distribute it to two actresses, two big and one small, and put them in front of these brooding old hens, having a great time.

  Even if the hair and face are covered with chicken feathers, there is a happy smile on his face.

   It provoked Ruirui to lean forward, humming and wanting to join them.

   "You guys are here for fun. After we finish filming, we must stay for a while longer."

   "That's right, I just found out that the little duck and goose were actually hatched by an old hen."

   "Hahaha, that's not true. In addition to old hens, we can also use heated kangs here. If we don't have a heated kang, we can also boil water. Put a quilt on the water to cover the eggs. I helped my mother hatch several times in my hometown."

   "Wow, you can still do this, really you are amazing."

   "Huh? How did these two hens nest together?"

  "That's right, these two brooding old hens are good friends. They want to stick together day and night. My brother-in-law wanted to separate them the night before, but they ran away together again, so it's okay."

  These two actresses are very young, have little experience in rural life, and are quite playful. They get together with Wang Zhenzhen, and the two are like peers, chatting endlessly.

  It was not until the crew had finished their meal that they were about to enter the mountain, and they came to call them, and then reluctantly left. Before leaving, they made an appointment with Wang Zhenzhen, and they would play again when they came back.

  This scene made Chen Ling and Wang Susu laugh for a while, saying that Wang Zhenzhen had made two big friends again.

  Breakfast at their house was really late today, and they didn't have breakfast until almost nine o'clock.

  After dinner, the sun was just right, Wang Susu carried Ruirui back to the village for a consultation, and Wang Zhenzhen was doing homework while watching TV in the living room.

  There is nothing else to do at home, so I just wait for the little sheep to come back to transport fish and Zhao Dahai to plant the poles.

  So Chen Ling released all the poultry and livestock and let them move freely.

   But seeing that the three cattle were dirty, Chen Ling tied them to the nearest tree, went back to get a brush and bucket, and washed them.

   This scalper is raised in another house, so it doesn't matter if it is dirty. When it comes to your own house, it's better to take care of it cleanly.

  Although the final result is unavoidable, killing and eating meat, it is not pleasing to the eye to be clean.

  Furthermore, the weather is getting warmer and warmer now. If the cow is too dirty, it is easy to attract flies and mosquitoes, and the smell is also strong.

   When the old bus brought him the cows two days ago, Chen Ling felt that the three cows were too dirty.

  But because the animals had just entered the house and hadn’t adapted yet, they were allowed to rest for two days. After adapting to the farm environment and water and food, they went to wash their bodies.

   Washing water in the ditch to wash the cows, the ditch is also noisy at this time, tadpoles, small loaches, and small eels are swimming around in a black mass.

  A group of ducks were swimming in the canal, quacking, chasing these little things, swallowing them in their mouths, making the canal rattle.

  Instead, those big geese were lying peacefully in the grass, bathed in the sparse patches of sunlight falling from the forest, looking very comfortable.

   "Huh? No..."

   "I'm going, these big geese have started to cuddle, I wonder why they are so peaceful today."

  As soon as Chen Ling dropped the brush, he walked towards the grass where the big geese were lying. As expected, they were nests.

  The big geese raised in this farm are different from the ducks.

  Domestic ducks don’t hold nests and cannot incubate eggs. Most of them let hens do it for them.

   Big geese can still nest and hatch eggs.

   That’s right, this big goose’s feet look like flippers, it doesn’t have claws, and it can’t turn eggs.

  So even if you let it hatch, the success rate is not as high as that of a hen.

   "Come on, you don't need you to hatch the eggs, you'd better lock them up in the dark room for two days."

  Chen Ling bent down and took a look. There were two big geese hugging the nest, and the rest of the mother geese got up as soon as they were coaxed. They followed here to join in the fun.

  So I reached out and grabbed the necks of the two nesting geese, carried them back, and went back to the farm to find a large free water tank, threw it in, put the lid on and let it go.

   The tricks to deal with big geese brooding are similar to the tricks to deal with brooding old hens.

  Generally, it is confinement in a cool place, no food and drink, no sunlight, and lower body temperature.

  Or piercing nostrils with feathers and pricking them with sewing needles.

  In the final analysis, these native methods are all stressful tricks, and it is too scared to go to the nest.

   Even so, it is better than medicine.

   "Well, this is the end of the geese, and the old hen. The old hen only needs four or five brooding nests. We can't let them all hatch eggs."

   "I'm going to hug the nest and stop laying eggs, what can I do?"

  At present, the old hens in the family are also brooding one after another. There are more chickens here, and naturally there are many brooding.

  Chen Ling hurriedly washed the three cattle and let them graze everywhere, then he took a group of dogs up the mountain to patrol.

  He figured that if he saw any signs of brooding, he would catch it back, tie its feet and blindfold its eyes, and throw it into a cage for two days.

   But when he reached the foot of the mountain, Chen Ling was stunned when he saw the scene on the hillside.

I saw a lot of pheasants among the densely packed chickens, mixed among the native chickens, pecking at the small insects and earthworms in the grass, and the dark brown or colored bodies of each one were shaking their heads. , Finding bugs in the grass is faster than chickens.

There was an old yellow hen who probably couldn't grab the food. It clucked angrily and pecked at a male pheasant with beautiful feathers. Unexpectedly, those pheasants did not show any weakness, and also launched a fierce counterattack. The loud and long clucking sound was fighting with the native chickens.

   "Good guy, this is the pheasant from outside mixing in with the chicken flock and dominating it."

Chen Ling felt a little stunned. There were actually pheasants in his flock, but there were only a few of them. They were grown by the little fat guy Liang Yiming following Wang Zhenzhen and the others in the village primary school last summer. It's only six or seven.

  However, there are sixteen or seventeen of these pheasants mixed in the flock now, let alone six or seven.

After Chen Ling was astonished, his heart was filled with deep surprises: "Good guy, I didn't expect to raise a few pheasants in the chicken flock, and there would be such a harvest, and it actually served as a chicken matchmaker and a chicken lure." The role is to seduce so many pheasants."

  The so-called chicken matchmaker and chicken lure are the same thing as bird matchmaker and bird lure.

   Let’s talk about bird raising. Bird lovers are crazy. When they have nothing to do, they will set up a few nets in the fields or outside the woods to catch birds.

   Especially when birds migrate in spring and autumn, large groups of birds pass by in the sky.

  However, it is not easy to find them online.

   Have to lure them down from the sky.

  How can you seduce the birds flying in the sky?

   This is the role of bird media and bird lures.

Let's go and see, many bird netting people hang their own birds nearby when they set up their nets. The birds they raise themselves are bird matchmakers and bird lures. When the bird hears it, it will fall.

  At this time, the bird breeders who set up the net seized the opportunity to drive away, and all the birds that flew down would hit the net.

   This chicken matchmaker and chicken lure have the same effect as this.

  It is used to deal with pheasants, bamboo chickens and various mountain pheasants.

  Of course, the effect of the same kind is the largest and most obvious.

   "Grandma, most of these foreign pheasants are female pheasants. I must have seen my male pheasant grow strong and beautiful, so I couldn't help but be attracted to it."

   "In that case, let's just ignore them and wait until the fight is over and they're well-adjusted, so you can lay eggs here with peace of mind. From now on, there will be plenty of wild eggs to pick up every day."

  Chen Ling rubbed his hands with joy on his face.

  He originally came to catch brooding hens, but now he has changed his mind, and decided not to startle the enemy, and let his excellent chicken matchmaker play its charm, to see if he can keep these flocks of pheasants.

  As for brooding hens, it’s okay to go up the mountain to catch them after dark.

   "Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect to have unexpected gains, so I have to find some wild duck eggs this year and come back to hatch some little wild ducks, and I can also be a duck matchmaker and duck lure next year..."

   Chen Ling waved and called the dog back, thinking happily.

  Actually, there have been many precedents of raising wild ducks in the village, but when these things are raised, they usually have to be eaten.

   Otherwise, wild ducks are relatively wild and can fly even if they are domesticated.

  When I grew up, I was easily abducted by wild ducks outside, and flew away with them.

  Chen Ling is not afraid of this, his family has such good conditions, and he is not afraid of it flying away when he is raised up.

  Those pheasants are a good example.

  Chen Ling never cut their wings and let them fly freely, but after raising them for more than half a year, he followed the large group of chickens back to the chicken coop on time every day, and there was no sign of escaping.

   "Come on, since this is the case, I'll get some fish fry out of the cave first, and then go out in the afternoon to look for wild duck eggs while there is no one at home."

  After making up his mind, let the dog out, and Chen Ling went back to the farm by himself and started to work on his own.

   Now that the lotus in the lotus pond is growing, Chen Ling plans to raise some of his favorite koi here this year.

  As for the ornamental fish sold in the three ponds, after the lambs are transported and sold, they can just buy a batch of low-priced fish fry on the way back.

   After all, what you earn is the price difference.

  Buy it at a low price, come back to raise it for a full month, repair the flaws with the diluted spiritual water at home, and sell it at a high price, that's all.

   "A Ling, come out soon, our relatives are here."

  At noon, Chen Ling had just put the fish fry into the lotus pond, and was about to add some water to Yu Qi'an's bird, when he heard his wife's joyful voice outside the door.
