Free-range chickens peck open the door to get rich

In the woods of Shiqiao Village, Zaolin Township, Lishi District, native chickens breathe fresh air and feed on insects and grass. In a row of chicken sheds not far from the woods, the sound of "cluck" was heard from time to time. The owner of this group of native chickens is Wang Wuyun, a villager of the village.

It was in his farm that I saw Wang Wuyun. At that time, he was bringing back eggs for his clients. Although the 28-year-old "chicken king" is not tall and plainly dressed, he gives people the impression of being shrewd and capable.

When it comes to the original intention of raising chickens, Wang Wuyun is also full of heartache. It turned out that he had been working away from home, not to mention that he could not earn any money, so he could not go home often. In April last year, through inspection and combined with national policy, he felt that the chicken industry was a more suitable way for his own development. At that time, considering that people are now rich and fastidious about eating, with a particular preference for green and pollution-free food, he decided to develop chicken raising programs.

After determining the breeding goal, he, who likes to ponder, thinks about the breeding method again. Wang Wuyun decided to raise local chickens in the woodland of his village. He said that in addition to regularly feeding food crops such as corn, soybeans, and grain bran, local chickens can also catch insects and peck at tender grass in the forest, which is close to the farm environment. Where there's a will, there's a way. Because of the ecological breeding, the eggs he raised were of high nutritional value, and soon became a delicacy on the dinner table of the residents and a "tight item" of major restaurants in the city, and were also sold to other surrounding cities.

With a good ecological environment and reasonable feeding methods, the benefits of Wang Wuyun's chicken farm gradually emerged, with a net income of more than 10,000 yuan last year. Wang Wuyun's group of native chickens "pecked" a door for him to get rich, and the ecological farm became his "green bank". Led by him, some of the villagers who have been holding a wait-and-see attitude have also taken active action to find a way to get rich together in the depths of the mountains.
