"Tianyang, look, it's really like you said, hatching chicks!!" With the rooster crowing with "chirp, chirp", Gan Dabiao was so excited when he saw Li Tianyang who came in.

"I told you earlier, the process of egg hatching, as long as you maintain a temperature similar to that of a hen hatching chicks, you can hatch chicks!" Li Tianyang gently grabbed a newly hatched chick, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it for a long time, smiling with satisfaction. Finally putting down the chicken, he bent down and carefully turned over the eggs that had not yet hatched.

"Yes, yes, yes! You're amazing, okay! Although Gan Dabiao had long believed in what Li Tianyang said, if he really wanted to encounter this kind of fact that subverted what he had always known, he still couldn't help but feel amazing, and even had a trace of awe for Li Tianyang from the bottom of his heart. The Chinese nation has a history of thousands of years, but it has not yet been able to establish a correct natural science system, and if they really encounter something that subverts everyone's cognition, they will always subconsciously attribute it to the power of gods and ghosts!

"You can't be careless! In the past few days, it is estimated that these eggs will hatch cubs one after another, and you all have to take good care of me. Li Tianyang saw that several teenagers had run into the incubation room, and he didn't care about the stuffy environment in the incubation room, so he had to give these boys a vaccination, lest they forget their business. Although most of these eggs are eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs are also a few, so even if the eggs have already begun to hatch, it will still take some time for duck and goose eggs to hatch.

"Don't worry, we've got you covered!" Gan Dabiao responded confidently.

"When these chicks are sent into the fence in a while, remember to scoop half a scoop of chaff feed in it! Oh, and put some water on it! Li Tiansheng was afraid that the teenagers would be careless, so he carefully explained the matters of care.

"Got it! The previous batch of chickens, we haven't taken care of it, we know these things in our hearts! It's you, hurry up and solve your earthworm feed problem! Gan Dabiao didn't want to listen to Li Tianyang's nagging anymore. Recently, Li Tianyang has incarnated as a third aunt and six mothers-in-law, and he loves to talk more than Gan Dabiao, and he has to read a code of conduct to everyone every morning and evening, and he does not let go of a group of captains and captains at night.

Speaking of earthworms, Li Tianyang also has a headache, he just saw a golden finger occasionally mentioned in online novels, which was erected and written simply, but when he came to practice, it broke his heart.

At first, when he poured the whole live earthworm into the enclosure, the first batch of chicks bought from the club were indifferent to them. Of course, this is Li Tianyang's failure, covering people's ears, but in fact, the little chicks have no way to eat these fat earthworms, and half of their bodies will be stuck in their throats when they take them in their mouths, and they can't swallow them, they can't spit them out, and even a few chickens are stuck and dying before everyone notices, losing their fragile lives.

For this, Li Tianyang quietly destroyed the dead chickens, and cut the earthworms into sections with a knife, and made a simple feed to feed the chickens with some chaff that fell from the milled rice. I thought there should be no problem like this, but after only more than ten days of feeding like this, the chicks began to diarrhea one after another and languished. He thought it was his bad luck, and it was estimated that the chicks were infected with chicken plague, so he began to find lime sterilization and disinfection, and used the means he knew in his previous life to clean up, but it still didn't work.

Seeing that the chicks were dying one by one, and half of the more than 50 chicks were lost in a few days, Li Tianyang already wanted to give up. But he still couldn't understand why only the chickens began to die of plague, while the ducks and geese had nothing to do, and they ran around the fence all day long.

In his previous life, he was also a countryman when he was young, and he raised chickens and ducks at home, and of course he knew some principles of raising. Compared with chickens, the immunity of ducks and geese is higher, but there is no reason for such a huge difference! Most of the chickens are dead, but the ducks and geese are fine, so he thinks it may not be because of the plague.

It wasn't until one day, when he was going to the toilet, that he happened to see a long roundworm in the pit, and he suddenly realized, could it be because of the parasite? Ducks and geese like to hunt for food in the water, and their resistance to parasites is much stronger than that of chickens that have long been accustomed to pecking at grass seeds and grains!

Thinking of this, in order to verify his idea, he reluctantly sifted out some finely chopped grains from his own grain and fed the remaining chickens. Not to mention, since the earthworm feed was stopped and the feed was changed to cereals, within a few days, the chickens were rejuvenated, and they were all in good spirits.

But in today's situation, where can such a luxury as feeding chickens with grain be obtained for a long time, and it is a matter where benefits are inversely proportional to costs. After the chickens stabilized, Li Tianyang could only continue to solve the problem of feed by raising earthworms and locusts.

It's just that up to now, the earthworms that feed the chickens have to be treated in several ways before they can be fed to the chickens, which is why Li Tianyang cleaned the earthworms today. After the earthworms are cleaned, the earthworms should be poured into boiling water and cooked, and after a few minutes, they will be fished out, drained, and then chopped into dices, and some chaff and rancid leftovers will be added to make feed.

For what Li Tianyang did, Wu Jie and Gan Dabiao didn't think so. In ancient times, very few families would feed these poultry every day, most of them only remembered to sprinkle some leftovers or grains after ten days and a half months, and at other times, they relied on these poultry to find food in the wild to fill their stomachs. Therefore, in ancient times, it basically took at least four months for a chick to grow to adulthood and lay eggs; In modern times, even free-range chickens in rural areas can fully mature and lay eggs in about three months, not to mention those farms, which can be quickly matured in four weeks through hormones and other drug stimulation.

Now, Li Tianyang plans to build a breeding base in the Ming Dynasty, of course, he can't raise chickens like the peasant women in the village, otherwise so many pups are afraid that it won't be long before they can't find food and starve to death, even if they don't starve to death, they really have to wait until they mature, I'm afraid it won't take half a year, and they have to be ready to grow up with skinny chickens.

So after he explained the pros and cons of raising pups, although everyone still didn't know much about what he said, he still implemented it seriously. In order to cultivate everyone's interest in exploring science, and in order to verify what he said, Li Tianyang still set aside a few cubs in the same batch and raised them separately according to the rural feeding method, so that everyone could supervise and observe together.
