After returning to the territory and meeting with the boss of the sheep who was playing with the water-drawing bicycle, the first thing Xia Qing did next was to go to the breeding greenhouse to check how many chicks hatched this afternoon.
There were twenty eggs in the first reed chicken coop that was holding the nest. As of noon today, eight chicks had been hatched.
When Xia Qing arrived at the breeding greenhouse, eight of the nine hens who were holding the nest were squatting in the nest and hatching eggs carefully. One was walking outside. The ten eggs he was responsible for were squeezed into the nest, looking lonely.
Xia Qing stared at the strolling hen and said viciously, "Boss, have you seen that guy? If a chicken can''t hatch in a few days, kill it and stew it in the soup!"
"My." Boss Yang, who was walking by Xia Qing, responded, but stared at the reed hen.
Xia Qing''s eyes also turned to the wings of the reed chicken, with a furry yellow head with red dots exposed there. The other chicks are hidden very tightly and cannot be seen at all.
Xia Qing turned on the light to feed the chickens, and the reed hen also left its nest to eat at the trough. Nine little chickens followed their mother, each of which was furry and very cute. Among them, the little reed chicken with no red dots on its head broke its shell this afternoon.
Big chickens eat feed in the trough. Chickens should enter the fine-toothed cage next to the chicken wing and eat the chicken feed specially prepared by Xia Qing.
Chicken feed is mixed with dried mealworms, crushed corn, chopped vegetable leaves and pollution-free spring water.
When the chickens with red dots on their heads crawled into the cage to peck at the feed, the newly hatched chick also left the chicken mother and followed the brothers and sisters into the cage.
Before it pecked, Xia Qing reached out from above the cage, grabbed it out, and fed it the medicine.
Raise the chicks, and everything is not the best way to take them with them. From birth to full moon, the chicks must be fed medicine and vaccinated.
Opening agent is a drop, which is directly dripped into the mouth, and every newly hatched chick needs to be eaten. It can excrete fetal toxins, effectively prevent and treat diseases such as white dysentery and chicken enteritis caused by evolutionary bacteria, activate the body''s immune system, and improve the disease resistance and survival rate of chicks.
After feeding the medicine, Xia Qing gently pinched the beak of the little reed chicken and dripped a drop of medicine on its small nostril. After it sucked the medicine in, Xia Qing used a wooden stick to dip it with red dye and drew a big red dot on its head, indicating that the chick with black stripes on the edge of the eyes and on the back had been fed the opening medicine and completed the first epidemic prevention.
She gently touched the chicken''s soft body and fluff. After confirming that it swallowed the potion, she put the little guy in the cage and let it eat and drink water with other chickens.
Eating is an animal instinct, and it will be born.
Watching the little guys who were not as big as fists pecking at the feed and drinking water obediently, Xia Qing turned into a starry eye. Unexpectedly, after entering the territory, the first cub she caught was not a wolf or a weasel, but a little chick.
The chickens became lively after eating. The full reed chickens raised their heads and clamored a few times. The chickens got out of the cage and went to find their mother.
After taking its children around the chicken coop for two rounds, the chicken coop returned to the chicken coop and continued to hatch eggs. Some of the chickens slept in their mother''s feathers, while others were strolling outside.
Xia Qing carefully observed other hens holding nests. After feeding rabbits and fish, he pinched a handful of alfalfa and went home to cook with three eggs.
When walking past the sheep gate, Xia Qing stopped and listened carefully to find something was wrong. The sheep was too quiet, without the squeaking of weasel cubs and the rustling of crawling on the grass!
Xia Qing whispered, "Is the little white hair there?"
After calling out three times, but not hearing any sound inside, Xia Qing turned on the surveillance camera and found that the cardboard boxes and haystacks in the sheep shed were clean, and there was not a single weasel.
She took out her cell phone and dragged the surveillance video progress bar. She soon found that at 4:30 this afternoon, shortly after she went to Wolf Valley, the hair-pulled weasel dragged a big magpie back to the sheep shed.
About half an hour later, it came out with half a magpies with long feathers pulled out and placed it on the straw mat in front of Xia Qing''s door. Then, the weasel, who always had a smile on his face, straightened his long body, stood in front of her door for a full minute before returning to the sheep shed. In a short while, the plucked weasel carried three little weasels on her back, and the little white weasels carrying two little weasels on her back, walked out of the sheep shed and out of the yard.
Xia Qing fell back, freeze the picture, and looked at the weasel cub on the little white-haired body. The two little weasels who were tightly slapped on their mother''s back with their little claws finally opened their eyes that had been closed for a month and looked wet in the direction of the camera.
Xia Qing changed the camera and saw the weasels and his family heading north after leaving the village on the east side, and rolling out the iron mesh wall.
After the cubs opened their eyes and survived the most dangerous period, the weasel couple took them out of human territory.
Because Xia Qing had already entered the surveillance system with two weasels, she did not issue an early warning to her after the camera captured the weasel.
It was not that they were deliberately leaving without saying goodbye, but that when they were about to leave, Xia Qing happened to be out of the territory.
Where is the half of the plucked magpie that the hair-pulled weasel placed in front of her door?
Xia Qing turned on the camera at home and clicked on and let it go. Fifteen minutes after the weasels left, the red squirrel jumped off the roof and took the magpies away.
Xia Qing once again freezes the picture and carefully observes the lengthened body of the red squirrel when he jumps up, and finds that its abdomen is obviously bulging.
This little guy should be pregnant too, so he needs nutrition. Xia Qing decided to spare it this time and not search the house.
"Boss, the hair-pulling guy and the little white-haired guy have left." Xia Qing went back to the house and told his companions the news, "It seems that they regard our family as a confinement club."
Boss Yang, who is stepping on a power generation bicycle, may not understand what Xia Qing is saying, but it can be seen or heard that Xia Qing is not in high interest.
After Xia Qing took off her protective clothing, washed up, changed her clothes and entered the kitchen. Boss Yang also got off the bicycle and stood at the kitchen door, watching her cook while chewing.
Xia Qing didn''t feel lonely when she had no companions; now she realized that she also needed company. Boss Yang is indeed not smart enough, but it will always be with Xia Qing, which makes her feel very down-to-earth.
Hearing it coming, Xia Qing chatted with it all over again, "I took a piece of Yishi from the Queen, and I took care of the little white-haired mother and son for a few days, and they left, and they didn''t eat the eggs tonight. Boss, do you think the Queen will come and take Yishi back after she knows it?"
"Wow." Boss Yang responded.
"No way?! Do you really think so?" Xia Qing cut the washed alfalfa leaves into a bowl, knocked two more eggs in, and stirred them evenly with salt. "The Queen is a decent wolf standing at the top of the pyramid, and she should not do such a thing."
“Ah.”
“She—”
Pour alfalfa egg liquid into the oil pan, making a pleasant sound, and the fragrance quickly floated out.
Xia Qing shoveled the fried alfalfa eggs into a bowl, "They are leaving too badly. I''m going to dig bamboo shoots tomorrow. I was going to bring them a few bamboo rats back as extra meals. Boss, will I dig bamboo shoots for you tomorrow to eat? Bamboo, do you like it?"
"What~~~" (This chapter ends)
