Veterans raise chickens and start businesses to become rich

Groups of strong bodies, wearing blood-red "crowns" and covered with shiny feathers, are like chickens in a brocade, bouncing alive under a verdant pine forest, screaming "Wow".

Recently, the author interviewed the original chicken farm in Liugutun, Jiangping Village, Siyang Town, Shangsi County. The farm is managed by a young man and an old farmer. The young man is a veteran named Tan Rigao. Three years ago, he felt that working in Guangdong was not his way out, so he gave up the opportunity to work as a taxi driver in Guangdong and went back to his hometown to start a business and raise raw chickens. At present, encouraged by the policy of "one township, one industry, one village, one product" for poverty alleviation in Shangsi County, he is prepared to lead the people around him to develop the breeding of raw chickens, expand the scale of breeding, create Shangsi brands, and improve market awareness. Sell Shangsiyuan chickens inside and outside the county.

Now, Tan Rigao's raw chicken farm covers an area of 60 mu, and the scale of raw chicken farming reaches more than 2000 birds every year (see photo). The chicken seedlings are completely hatched by the farm, fed with miscellaneous grains and reared under the forest in the original ecology, with strong meat, juicy and delicious. The breeding time of raw chicken is 6 to 7 months, and each chicken weighs about 1.5kg. It is sold at the price of 100yuan each. The annual output value is nearly 200000 yuan and the profit is about 100000 yuan. Tan Rigao also opened a raw chicken store on Unity Road in Shangsi County, making it convenient for merchants inside and outside the county to order. The sales volume continues to increase, and the efficiency is getting better and better.
