Farmers in Xindian in Rudong County catch "Rooster" in the year of the Rooster

On the first day of the first lunar month, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers everywhere, but Tao Ruihua, a farmer in Xindian Town, Rudong County, was still busy in the chicken house.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Lao Tao went straight to the chicken coop and began to observe the situation of the chickens and have a physical examination. "cluck." In the 800sqm henhouse, 6000 chickens are playing head to head. "time waits for no one. You see, the chicken seedlings are the same every day, and there is no room for delay." Lao Tao busily told reporters that there are more than 10 days left, these chickens will be out of the fence, I hope there will be a good price.

"come and have breakfast. As you are celebrating the Spring Festival, you should also try to have breakfast before the chicken. Ha." The laughter of my wife came from the kitchen. Lao Tao mixed food for the chicken and smiled: "it doesn't matter if I'm late, they can't wait." Perhaps with the owner has a considerable tacit understanding, hearing the sound of food preparation, the chickens have been eager to try. As soon as the enclosure door opened, hundreds of chickens swarmed out and rushed towards the trough looking for food. Lao Tao said jokingly, "people, like chickens, have to work hard before they have a chance to succeed."

Feed, water, ventilation. Such a process is like an equation in Lao Tao's mind, which is too familiar to be familiar with. "the hygiene and food of the chicken coop should not be relaxed." Lao Tao talked about his experience for many years. In the past two days, taking advantage of the fine weather, as long as they are free, Lao Tao and his wife quickly mix up chicken ingredients such as corn, soybean meal and vitamins to ensure the food of "baby chickens". "each chicken eats about 4 taels of food and drinks 8 taels of water per meal. This proportion is the most comfortable to eat. "

This year is the year of the Rooster. Speaking of his 26-year relationship with the chicken, Lao Tao has some feelings: "if you say others don't believe it, these chickens are just like my children." When they are alive, I smile; when they are sick, I am depressed. " Over the years, Lao Tao has experienced the golden age of raising chickens and experienced the thrill of a roller coaster. "I've said many times that I won't keep it any more, but after a few days, I caught a new chicken, and I can't give up the addiction." Lao Tao said with a smile that due to bird flu and the influence of supply and demand, his five batches of chickens earned an average profit of 70,000 yuan last year.

"after this batch of chickens are sold, they will be fully disinfected to welcome the next batch of baby chickens. 30,000 are planned to be raised this year." Looking at the cheerful flock of chickens, Lao Tao was full of confidence and drive.
