In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 678

After returning to the territory and meeting the sheep boss who was riding a bicycle to collect water, the first thing Xia Qing did was to run to the breeding greenhouse to check how many chicks had hatched this afternoon.

The first reed chicken had a total of twenty eggs in its nest. As of noon today, eight chicks had hatched.

When Xia Qing rushed to the breeding greenhouse, eight of the nine hens were squatting in the nest and incubating eggs. One was strolling outside, with the ten eggs it was responsible for crowded in the nest, looking at the lonely .

Xia Qing stared at the wandering hen and said fiercely, "Boss, have you seen that guy? If it doesn't hatch a chicken in a few days, kill it and make soup!"

“Hey.” The sheep boss who followed Xia Qing strolled over responded, but his eyes were fixed on the reed hen.

Xia Qing's eyes also turned to the wings of the reed chicken, where a furry little yellow head with red dots was exposed. The other chicks are well hidden and cannot be seen at all.

Xia Qing turned on the light to feed the chickens. The reed hen also left its nest to eat at the trough. Nine chicks followed behind their mother. Each one was fluffy and very cute. Among them, the little reed chicken with no red spots on its head only broke out of its shell this afternoon.

The big chickens eat the feed in the trough, and the chicks have to get into the fine-toothed cage next to the chicken pen to eat the chick feed specially prepared by Xia Qing.

Chicken feed is made from dried mealworms, finely chopped corn, finely chopped vegetable leaves and non-polluted spring water.

When the chicks with red dots on their heads got into the cage to peck at the feed, the newly hatched chick also left its mother and followed its brothers and sisters into the cage.

Before it pecked, Xia Qing reached in from the top of the cage, grabbed it out, and gave it oral medicine.

When raising chickens, it does not mean that everything will be fine if the hens are with them. From birth to full moon, the chicks need to be fed medicines and vaccinated.

The opening medicine is a drop that is dropped directly into the mouth and must be taken by each newly hatched chick. It can discharge fetal toxins, effectively prevent and treat diseases such as pullorum and chicken enteritis caused by evolved bacteria, activate the body's immune system, and improve the disease resistance and survival rate of chickens.

After giving the medicine, Xia Qing gently pinched the beak of the little reed chicken and dropped a drop of medicine into its small nostril. After it inhaled the medicine, Xia Qing dipped a wooden stick in red dye and drew a big red dot on its head, indicating that the chick with black stripes around its eyes and back had been fed the medicine. , and completed the first epidemic prevention.

She gently touched the chick's soft body and down to make sure it had swallowed the medicine, then put the little guy into the cage and let him eat food and drink water with the other chicks.

Eating is an animal instinct that is acquired from birth.

Watching the little ones no bigger than a fist, eating feed bit by bit and drinking water obediently, Xia Qing turned into starry eyes. Unexpectedly, after entering the territory, the first cub she picked up was not a wolf or a weasel, but a chicken.

The chicks became lively after eating. The full reed chicken raised its head high and clucked a few times in a low voice. Then the chicks got out of the small cage to find their mother.

The reed chicken took its chicks for two turns in the henhouse, then returned to the henhouse to continue incubating eggs. Some of the chicks slept in their mother's feathers, while others wandered outside.

Xia Qing carefully observed the other hens in the nest. After feeding the rabbits and fish, he pinched a handful of alfalfa and took three eggs home to cook.

Xia Qing stopped when he walked past the door of the sheep shed, listened carefully and found that something was wrong. It was so quiet in the sheep shed, without the squeaking of the weasel pups and the rustling of the grass!

Xia Qing called softly, "The plucker, little white hair, are you there?"

After calling three times without hearing any sound from inside, Xia Qing turned on the surveillance camera and found that the cardboard boxes and haystacks in the sheep shed were all clean, and there was not a single weasel.

She took out her mobile phone, dragged the progress bar of the surveillance video, and soon discovered that at 4:30 this afternoon, shortly after she went to Wolf Valley, the plucked weasel dragged a large magpie back to the sheep shed.

About half an hour later, it came out with half of the plucked magpie carcass in its mouth and placed it on the straw mat in front of Xia Qing's house. Then, the weasel, who always had a smile on his face, straightened up his long body and stood in front of her door for a full minute before returning to the sheep shed. After a while, the plucked weasel carried three little weasels on its back, and the little white weasel carried two little weasels on its back, walking out of the sheep shed and out of the yard.

Xia Qing rewinds, freezes the frame, zooms in on the screen, and carefully examines the weasel cub on Xiao Bai Mao's body. The two little weasels, clinging to their mother's back with their little paws, finally opened their eyes that had been closed for a month and looked wetly in the direction of the camera.

Xia Qing switched the camera and saw the weasel family leaving the village from the east and heading north, climbing over the iron mesh wall.

After the cubs opened their eyes and passed the most dangerous period, the weasel couple took them away from human territory.

Because Xia Qing had already entered the two weasels into the surveillance system, no early warning was issued to her after the camera captured the weasels.

They didn't leave without saying goodbye on purpose, but when it was time for them to leave, Xia Qing happened to be outside the territory.

Where is the half-plucked magpie that the plucked weasel placed in front of her door?

Xia Qing turned on the camera at home and clicked on the quick playback button. Fifteen minutes after the weasel family left, the red squirrel jumped down from the roof and snatched the magpie away.

Xia Qing freezes the picture again, carefully observes the elongated body of the red squirrel when it jumps, and finds that its abdomen is obviously bulging.

This little guy is probably pregnant too, so he needs to supplement his nutrition. Xia Qing decided to spare it this time and not raid the house.

“Boss, the plucker and Little White Hair are gone.” Xia Qing returned to the house and told his companions the news, “It seems they regard our house as a confinement center.”

The Mr. Yang who is riding his electric bicycle may not understand what Xia Qing is talking about, but he can tell or hear that Xia Qing is not very interested.

Xia Qing waited for Xia Qing to take off her protective clothing, wash up, change clothes, and enter the kitchen. The sheep boss also got off his bicycle and stood at the door of the kitchen, chewing cud while watching her cook.

Xia Qing did not feel lonely when she had no companions before; now that she has companions, she realizes that she also needs companionship. The sheep boss is indeed not smart enough, but he will always be by Xia Qing's side, making her feel at ease.

Hearing it coming, Xia Qing chatted with it one after another, "I took a piece of stone from the queen, and only took care of the little white-haired mother and her son for a few days, and they left. I didn't eat any eggs tonight." . Boss, do you think the Queen will come and take Yi Shi back after she finds out?"

“Mea.” The sheep boss responded.

"No way?! Do you really think so?" Xia Qing cut the washed alfalfa leaves into sections and put them into a bowl. Then she cracked two eggs into the bowl, added salt and stirred them evenly. "The Queen is also standing on the top of the pyramid. A decent wolf shouldn't do such a thing.”

Pour the alfalfa egg liquid into the oil pan, making a pleasant sound, and the fragrance soon wafts out.

Xia Qing shoveled the fried alfalfa eggs into the bowl, "It's not the right time for them to leave. I'm going to dig bamboo shoots tomorrow. I originally planned to bring a few bamboo rats back for them as a snack. Boss, I'll give them to you tomorrow." Are you going to dig up bamboo shoots and eat them? Do you like them?"

“咩~~~” (End of this chapter)
