Tang Xinghua felt that raising roosters was too risky. After all, hens could still lay eggs even if they couldn't be sold, but roosters couldn't lay eggs. If they couldn't sell, they would have to slaughter them and eat them themselves.
In general, it is definitely not as cost-effective as raising hens.
So I only ordered twenty little roosters to test the waters and see how the market would perform after they were raised.
The chicks that have just hatched are all cream-colored and look very cute. Even their chirping sounds adorable.
Jiang Shixun checked and saw that the little ones were all in good spirits and did not look sick. He couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
He asked Jiang Zhiying expectantly, "Zhuzhu, how many chickens do you have?"
Jiang Zhiying played dumb: "A lot, a lot."
There were not many chickens at the beginning, but it has been almost a month and a half now, and the scale of the chicken farm in the space has naturally become larger and larger.
After all, one day outside is equivalent to ten days inside.
That is to say, the hens outside can lay ten eggs in one day.
At the beginning, there were only hens in the space, and the eggs they laid could only be eaten but could not be used to hatch chicks.
However, Tang Yulan specifically asked the Tang family for twenty eggs, which hatched twelve little hens and eight little roosters.
Jiang Shixun later got some hatchable eggs from other places and hatched little hens and little roosters.
When these roosters grow up, they can help the hens lay eggs.
Jiang Zhiying specially paired the roosters and hens to avoid inbreeding. Within about eighteen days, the chicks inside would be grown and ready to lay eggs.
So now they have bred two batches of laying chickens, and of course there are more eggs every day, which they cannot eat all by themselves.
Today, all the roosters and hens, big and small, add up to about 5,000.
Of course, most of them are still very small and it will take some time for them to grow up.
If she continues to hatch more chicks, the scale of her chicken farm will become even bigger!
However, Jiang Zhiying feels that the current scale is enough, and plans not to hatch the chicks for the time being, but to develop other things first.
Like ducks and geese, rabbits and pigs.
Don't count on the cattle and sheep for the time being; they are too big to be obtained quietly.
You can raise piglets.
The wild rabbits she caught before were very fertile.
However, in order to prevent inbreeding, she isolated all the close relatives. This naturally reduced the reproduction rate, so that the size of the rabbit farm has always been small.
Jiang Zhiying's mouth was watering at the thought.
She wants to eat dry-pot rabbit and roast suckling pig.
How about asking Jiang Shixun to make dry pot rabbit when we go back today?
Jiang Zhiying's mind flashed, and she immediately brought out a fat rabbit: "Dad, eat the rabbit!"
Jiang Shixun was startled: "Where did the rabbit come from?"
He didn't even know that Jiang Zhiying had a rabbit in her space!
Jiang Zhiying decisively shifted the blame: "Xiao Lin caught it! It grew bigger after he put it in there."
Jiang Shixun: “…”
He decisively grabbed the rabbit and knocked it unconscious, then tied it up with a rope and put it in the basket.
"Okay, Dad will make rabbit for you when we get home!"
After saying that, he couldn't help swallowing.
This rabbit is really fat, weighing at least 7 or 8 kilograms! Even without the skin and offal, it would probably weigh more than 5 kilograms.
Not only is it enough for their family to eat, but half of it can be given to the Tang family.
However, one rabbit seems a little too little. How about a chicken?
