Li Kaifei's colorful pheasant dream

"only when people dare to think about it can they make a career. If they don't even dare to think about it, they are doomed to achieve nothing in this life." Yesterday, Li Kaifei, a family farmer in Yanji Town, Yongcheng City, was feeding pheasants in the chicken house when he said this.

In 2010, Li Kaifei, who graduated from junior high school, did not choose to continue his studies to change his fate, but chose to go out to work to accumulate wealth. Later, unwilling to be a wage earner, he engaged in three-dimensional ecological agriculture, but failed for various reasons. In 2014, when Li Kaifei had no way to get rich, he suddenly saw CCTV broadcasting the Book of getting Rich. "that program tells the story of a farmer who got rich by raising colorful pheasants." Li Kaifei said, "I was attracted by that story, and I thought: why can't I have pheasants?"

"at that time, I checked the living habits of colorful pheasants on the Internet and found that it was very suitable for raising pheasants at home." Li Kaifei said. As a result, Li Kaifei decided to go out again. "in June of that year, I rented three mu of land, bought equipment for raising chickens, and ordered 600 colorful pheasants out of town." Li Kaifei said confidently, "that's how I started my career."

But life is full of variables. Unexpectedly, as soon as these chickens were transported home from other places, they got sick, which worried Li Kaifei to death. "forty or fifty chickens died at once." Li Kaifei said, "I couldn't help it, so I went online and asked an expert chicken farmer for help, knowing that the chicks had necrotizing enteritis."

Li Kaifei, who found the disease, inquired in many ways, looking for good medicine. But for some reason, the chicks did not get better even after taking medicine. "I decided not to give them medicine. Since they are weak, I will give them vitamins and glucose to increase their resistance." "then expand the chicken grounds and let them live in a well-ventilated environment," Li Kaifei said. "

Unexpectedly, Li Kaifei's method worked unexpectedly, slowly, the chickens' health is getting better and better, Li Kaifei also saw hope. But the pheasants are in good spirits, and it also brings another problem. They have the strength to fight. "the chicks fight every day and lose their tails." Li Kaifei said with tears and laughter, "the pheasant will not look good without its tail, and it will not sell at a price in the future."

In order to solve this problem, Li Kaifei turned to experienced farmers online. "they said they would wear glasses to the chickens so that they wouldn't fight." Li Kaifei said, "I immediately bought 1000 pairs of glasses from the Internet and put them on."

It's a tough job to put glasses on a chicken. "they are so naughty that it is very troublesome to wear glasses for them. It took me two days. Who knows, as soon as I put on my glasses, it snowed heavily, and the heavy snow collapsed the net on the chicken shed, and I propped up the net all night. In this way, I stayed awake for five days and five nights in a row. " Li Kaifei said, "very tired, but very happy."

In this way, the colorful pheasants grew up under the careful care of Li Kaifei. "I posted the picture of the chicken on the Internet, and many people said that the pheasant in my family was beautiful, and many outsiders came to my house to buy chicken." Li Kaifei said, "now that half of my chicken has been sold, I have earned back all the money I invested before."

Li Kaifei looked happy when he talked about the popularity of pheasants. Talking about the next step of development, Li Kaifei said happily: "next year I decided to increase the number of colorful pheasants to let more people know that our colorful pheasants in Yongcheng are not only beautiful, but also green, organic, and delicious."
