Chapter 375(1/2)
Chicken Matchmaker, Relatives
Old hens during the incubation period are unreasonable.
Not to mention humans, even the dogs at home would dare to peck at them if they came close.
These hens in the chicken house were like this. Wang Susu said that they laid eggs very frequently for four or five days in the past few days, and then they suddenly built a nest in the bushes on the hillside.
I don’t know if it’s because people often collect eggs, but they don’t go back to the chicken coops Chen Ling built for them on the hillside to hatch their eggs.
Later, when Chen Ling found out, he asked Coyotito to chase them away. As a result, they pecked Erhei several fiercely.
In the end, it was Chen Ling who carried them back to the chicken coop.
This is also because they are afraid that they will be frightened by dogs and it will be bad for these old hens to be stimulated.
I accidentally got hit twice, and the back of my hand was so painful that it almost broke the skin.
"Okay Zhenzhen, stop making trouble with it, it will really peck you soon."
At this time, 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.
"Humph, I just thought it was too disobedient. Last year I even caught grasshoppers and tadpoles for them, and they even pecked me."
Wang Zhenzhen shouted angrily, then squatted in front of the big flower chicken, pinched the big flower chicken's mouth and head, and ignored the big flower chicken's struggle, then turned around and shouted: "Brother-in-law, please release the eggs quickly, I will pinch them
Shut its mouth."
Chen Ling put the two old rambler eggs and a cuckoo egg in his hand into the old hen's belly.
"Okay, let's go."
Wang Zhenzhen followed the instructions and let the big flower chicken go, and the big flower chicken screamed at her angrily.
The two actresses were very frightened when they saw this and hid behind Wang Susu.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. The old hen in the nest will hatch the eggs and won't move."
Seeing this, Wang Susu smiled and comforted them.
When the two women looked over there, they saw the big rooster crows angrily twice, then lay down on the eggs again, and hatched them steadily.
Sure enough, it didn't move anywhere.
Although he is very fierce, he always sticks to his position and will not randomly run out and peck anyone.
The two women suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer so scared.
At this time, Wang Susu saw her sister going to catch a smaller reed chicken next to her, so she stopped the little girl: "Really, don't do that to these two sisters' eggs anymore. You can put them in the chicken."
When he saw the egg, he just pooped it under his belly and didn't care about it."
"Ah? Is this okay? Sister, don't fool me." Wang Zhenzhen turned around and didn't believe it.
"I'm not fooling you. If you don't believe me, ask your brother-in-law."
Hearing what his sister said, Wang Zhenzhen shook her pigtails, turned her head and looked at Chen Ling with questioning eyes.
Chen Ling smiled and stroked the little girl's braid twice: "You will know if I am fooling you or not after you try it."
"Okay, then I'll give it a try, hehe."
Wang Zhenzhen slapped his hand away and smiled.
Then he took two eggs, gently placed them in front of the reed chicken, and pushed them forward: "Here, here, I'll give you two more babies, will you hatch them?"
The two actresses next to him also watched intently.
After seeing the two eggs, the reed chicken stood up without saying a word, pulled the eggs in front of him with his beak, and then moved his head rapidly, stuffing the two eggs one after another.
Under your own belly.
Then he sat down firmly again.
"Wow, it's so amazing. This hen can actually pick up her own eggs and hatch them, and bird eggs can do the same."
As soon as the two actresses saw this scene, they seemed to have discovered some new world. They hurriedly came forward and squatted down to look at it with curious eyes.
Wang Zhenzhen also clapped her hands happily and said, "It's fun, I'll give it two more eggs."
Hearing this, Chen Ling held her down and said, "Don't take the eggs. Why are you hatching so many birds? Isn't this enough for you to play with? If you want to hatch eggs, go get some of the goose eggs and duck eggs you just picked up in the morning and hatch them.
It’s fine.”
"Hey, okay, I'll get it right away."
Not allowed to use bird eggs, duck eggs or goose eggs are the same. Wang Zhenzhen nodded quickly and ran out in a hurry.
After a while, he ran back with the basket.
The basket contained some duck eggs and goose eggs.
Then they were given to two actresses, two older and one younger, and they put them in front of these old hens in their nests, and they had a great time.
Even though his hair and face were covered with chicken feathers, he still had a happy smile on his face.
This made Ruirui also lean out her body, humming and wanting to join them.
"It's just fun here. After we finish filming, we must stay here for a while longer."
"That's right, I just found out that these little ducks and goslings were actually hatched by old hens."
"Hahaha, that's not the case. In addition to old hens, we can also use a fire kang here. If you don't have a fire kang, you can also boil water at home. Put a quilt on the water to cover the eggs. I have helped my mother hatch them several times in my hometown."
"Wow, you can still do this. You are so awesome."
"Huh? How come these two hens are nesting together?"
"Yes, these two old hens in the nest are good friends. They want to stay together day and night. My brother-in-law wanted to separate them the night before, but they ran away together again and ignored them."
These two actresses were very young, had little experience in rural life, and were quite playful. They got together with Wang Zhenzhen. The two older ones and the younger one seemed to be of the same age, chatting endlessly.
It wasn't until all the crew members had finished eating that they were about to go into the mountains and came to call them. Then they left reluctantly. Before leaving, they made an appointment with Wang Zhenzhen to come back and play again.
This scene made Chen Ling and Wang Susu laugh for a while, saying that Wang Zhenzhen had made two more big friends.
Their breakfast was really late today, they didn't have breakfast until almost nine o'clock.
After dinner, the sun was just right, so Wang Susu carried Ruirui back to the village for a consultation. Wang Zhenzhen was watching TV and doing homework in the living room.
There was nothing else to do at home, so I just waited for the little sheep to come back again to transport fish and Zhao Dahai to plant the telephone poles.
So Chen Ling released all the poultry and livestock and let them roam freely.
However, seeing that the three oxen were dirty, Chen Ling tied them to a nearby tree and went back to get a brush and bucket to wash them off.
This scalper is raised in another home, so it doesn't matter if it's dirty. When it comes to your own home, 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 at all.
Furthermore, the weather is getting warmer and warmer now. If the cow is too dirty, it will easily attract flies and mosquitoes and the smell will be strong.
When his father brought the cows to him two days ago, Chen Ling felt that the three cows were too dirty.
However, since the animals had just entered the house and had not yet adapted, they were allowed to rest for two days. After they had adapted to the farm's environment, water and food, they were then washed.
I was searching for water to wash the cattle in the canal. The canal was also noisy at this time, with tadpoles, small loaches, and small eels swimming around in a dark mass.
A group of ducks swam in the channel, quacking, chasing these little things, and kept swallowing them in their mouths, causing the channel to make a splashing sound.
On the other hand, those big geese were lying peacefully in the grass, bathing in the sparse sunlight falling in the forest, looking very comfortable.
"Huh? No..."
"When I went there, these big geese actually started to nest. I wonder why they are so peaceful today."
As soon as Chen Ling threw the brush away, he walked towards the grass where the big geese were sleeping. As expected, it was as expected that they were nesting in the grass.
The geese raised by this farm are different from the ducks.
Domestic ducks do not build nests and cannot incubate eggs. Most of them let hens do the work for them.
The geese can still lay nests and hatch eggs.
That's right, the paws of this big goose have webbed feet and no claws, so they can't turn over eggs.
So even if you let it hatch the eggs, the success rate is not as high as that of a hen hatching the eggs for you.
"Come on, I don't need you to hatch the eggs, so I'd better keep them in a dark room for two days."
Chen Ling bent down and took a look. There were two big geese nesting in the nest, and the remaining mother geese got up as soon as they coaxed them. They were here to join in the fun.
So I reached out and grabbed the two nesting geese by their necks, carried them away, returned to the farm, found a large free water tank, threw it in, closed the lid and left it alone.
The tricks to deal with the goose nesting are similar to the tricks to deal with the old hen nesting.
Generally, they are confined in a cool place, without food or drink, without exposure to sunlight, and their body temperature is lowered.
Or you can pierce your nostrils with feathers and prick them with sewing needles.
In the final analysis, these native tricks are all stress-inducing tricks, which will scare the dog away from its den.
Even so, it is better than medicine.
"Well, now that the geese have been treated, there are still old hens. Four or five old hens are enough to nest in the nest, but we can't let them all hatch eggs."
