In December, there were clouds and fog on Jiufeng Mountain in Hengyang County, green bamboo floating fragrance, and a group of mountain yellow chickens under the mountain corner drove away the cold winter weather without a trace. On the 14th, as soon as the reporter followed he Xingmin into the mountain forest, he Xingmin saw a mountain yellow chicken on the hillside and in the grass, running and flying to him from all directions. He Xingmin, who walked in front, resolutely looked like the commander of the battlefield. When he scattered the rice, he attracted golden chickens to gather towards him.

He Xingmin, 48, is a villager of Jiufengshan, Xijiang Township, Hengyang County. due to family financial difficulties, he and his wife have been working in Guangdong for a long time, but because he has been suffering from many diseases in recent years, he Xingmin has gone home alone to recuperate his illness this year. In this way, the whole family can only rely on their wife to work in Guangdong to support the whole family. Life is very tight.

After the poverty alleviation team of Hengyang City learned about the situation through a visit, combined with the local reality, he guided him to use the rich woodland resources of Jiufeng Mountain to develop the project of raising chickens under the forest, and led him to visit and study at the Junping special farm in Hetian Village of his township. With the help of the task force, he Xingmin first bought 5000 Shanhuang chicken seedlings, while learning from farmers on the spot, while self-taught to consult chicken-related books, and constantly accumulated chicken-raising experience. Through efforts, after the first batch of mature Shanhuang chickens sold well in Hengyang, Shaodong and other places in July, let he Xingmin see the joy and hope of a bumper harvest.

When it comes to raising mountain yellow chickens, he Xingmin told us with a smile that his chickens are kept in the woods of Jiufeng Mountain, freely foraging for natural grass and insects, and usually fed with miscellaneous grains such as rice bran, and chicken manure is left in the woods, which increases the fertility of the woodland. while trees create a suitable growth environment for chickens, the raised chickens have strong immunity and high nutritional value, which ensures the natural quality of Shanhuang chicken to the greatest extent. The real realization of "pure ecology, pure green", the formation of a virtuous circle of the ecosystem.

Jiufengshan high-quality Shanhuang chicken has attracted many customers to come to buy. at present, there are 8000 Shanhuang chickens in Coulan, each chicken can grow to about 3 jin on average, according to the market price of 28 yuan per jin, excluding expenses, each can get a net income of 10 yuan, and this year's net income has reached 100000 yuan. In the next step, he Xingmin also wants to use the recovery funds to expand the scale of breeding and take the entrepreneurial road of characteristic aquaculture by making use of the rich natural forest resources in Jiufeng Mountain.

"you see, I didn't know how to use so many mountain forests in Jiufeng Mountain. In the next step, I'm going to make use of all the mountain forests in the village. My wife won't have to work outside next year. Now it's much better to work at home than to work outside." He Xingmin, who is inarticulate, said with confidence on his face.
