Zhou Like, a poor family in Huating and his "getting Rich Chicken"

Recently, when the author came to the Chai Chicken Farm in Yuguang Village, Donghua Town, Huating County, I only heard a whistle. More than 1000 firewood chickens sprinted to the edge of the feed pool and played a "pastoral symphony." The chicken was fed by Zhou Like, a 58-year-old poor family in Yuguang Village. With the help of the village support team, he raised ecological firewood chickens on his hillside this year. At present, 1500 chickens are kept in the pen. On average, one can only sell for more than 50 yuan, excluding the cost, the net profit is about 20 yuan. Zhou Like said jokingly, "this is my rich chicken."

After the precise poverty alleviation work began, Zhou Like applied for a 50,000 yuan precision poverty alleviation loan, and the support team also helped him apply for another 50,000 yuan discount loan for women's entrepreneurship. After the Spring Festival this year, Zhou Like and his son, with the help of the village support team, surrounded a large area of hillside land in front of the house and behind the house, built chicken coops, fenced nets, and fed feed.

"when kept free in the natural environment, chicks can breathe fresh air, move freely, catch insects and peck at tender grass, so that chicks have stronger immunity and are healthier." Zhou Like said. In order to increase nutrition for the chicken, he has to add meals to the chicken regularly every day. The "diet" is some original ecological feed such as wheat bran, corn, soybean meal and so on, which ensures the quality of the chicken. "Huating County is going to lift the whole county out of poverty this year. As a poor family, I have to rely on my own hands to get rid of poverty, and I can't hold it back." Zhou Like said: now these 1500 chickens can be put on the market. As long as we contact a fixed market and sell these chickens, my chicken farm can be expanded and a well-off house can be built for myself at the foot of the mountain next year.
