Chapter 537: Fighting Cocks among Cocks



Han Cheng is a person who can't sit still.

On the one hand, there are indeed a lot of things to do in the tribe, and on the other hand, he is good at finding things to do when he has nothing to do.

The flower bed had just been built for two days when he turned his attention to the chickens in the chicken coop.

It is impossible not to look over there, because these guys have been making too much noise these past two days.

After several years of breeding, the number of chickens has reached more than one hundred.

There are mostly hens, and only five roosters.

The reason for such a big difference is because of the intentional control of Han Cheng and others. After all, the rooster at this time has not yet developed into a fighter among roosters and cannot lay eggs.

There are two methods of control. One is to select eggs when hatching chicks, and the other is to slaughter the rooster inside and eat the meat after the hatched chicks grow up.

There is not much reason to explain. Not being able to lay eggs is their original sin.

With more wolves than meat, those guys who are lucky enough to become "breeding chickens" are both in pain and happy, because this is a harem in the open.

Because they usually spend all their energy on the hens, these roosters have basically been living in peace.

But things have changed in the past few days.

I don’t know if it’s because the weather is getting warmer and they’re feeling the breath of spring, but these guys are starting to get restless - they’re fighting in the chicken coop for no reason, with their heads broken and blood all over the place and chicken feathers flying everywhere.

At first Han Cheng thought that it was the largest rooster that was causing trouble, but after observing it for a few times, he found that the one causing trouble was actually the smallest guy.

Although this guy is small in size, he is not a quiet person. He fought with the other four roosters one by one.

The key point is that the four guys that are bigger than it can't beat it, so they waste their healthy bodies.

If Han Cheng was a person who liked cockfighting, this rooster with extremely high fighting power would definitely be treated very highly. Unfortunately, Han Cheng had no interest in cockfighting or quail fighting.

What he was passionate about was to de-wild these domesticated creatures in the tribe as quickly as possible, so that they would become docile, continuously lay eggs, reproduce offspring, and provide food for the Green Bird tribe from generation to generation.

With all these, this small but bad-tempered rooster is destined to be a tragedy.

No matter how powerful it is, it cannot be more powerful than Han Cheng, who is even more brutal than it.

A corner of the net above the chicken coop was lifted up, and a long-handled net bag made of bamboo poles and netting was inserted into it. The bird that had just flapped its wings and proudly chirped with its head raised suddenly became timid.

It clucked and clucked and went among the hens.

How could Han Cheng, who had been fighting wits and courage with these chickens for several years, let it escape?

After the net bag expanded and contracted a few times, the creature that was screaming and giggling was put into the net bag and taken out.

Grabbing the rooster's two wings and crouching its neck with one hand, stepping on the chicken's claws with his feet, and holding a knife in the other hand, Han Cheng was ready to deal with this restless guy.

On the one hand, it can serve as a warning to others, and on the other hand, it can be used to make soup for Bai Xue's sister to nourish her body.

But he didn't cut with the knife after all, because he suddenly remembered something he had heard before - using an old rooster to hatch chicks.

It is said that an old rooster is drunk with wine and then castrated. Then, while it is still drunk, it is placed in a chicken coop with eggs and covered with a bamboo sieve. After a day or two, the bamboo sieve is removed and the old rooster will then lie obediently in the chicken coop to incubate eggs.

And they are more diligent and conscientious than ordinary hens.

After the chicks are hatched, they will lead them around to look for food just like a hen.

Because roosters are more powerful and better at finding food than hens, chicks raised by roosters grow stronger.

Generally, a hen will sever the mother-child relationship with her chicks when the chicks grow to be about one-quarter the size of a large chicken.

The rooster, on the other hand, is able to raise the chicks until they are almost fully grown.

Han Cheng had only heard about this from the older generation in his family, but had never actually seen it. After all, as far as he could remember, the days of living on chicken butts had passed, and generally few people would do such a thing anymore.

This sudden thought aroused Han Cheng's curiosity. Should he try doing the same thing once?

The rooster being held by Han Cheng seemed to sense that something bad was going to happen to it. It had already given up resisting, but it began to struggle again.

Of course, its resistance was ineffective and was easily suppressed by Han Cheng.

Then he carried it all the way to the front of the house.

Tie this guy up with a rope and throw him on the ground. Find a small broken bowl, grab a handful of millet and soak it in some wine. Not waiting too long, regardless of whether the millet is soaked through, start feeding it to the chickens.

Han Cheng's strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of another idle guy in the tribe.

Wu walked over from the rabbit pen and squatted aside to watch the fun.

Wu's subsequent behavior vividly illustrates the saying "People who like to watch the fun never mind the trouble."

After learning from Han Cheng the significance of what Han Cheng did, Wu immediately showed enough surprise.

Because in his memory, it seemed that things like giving birth were always done by females, such as the people in the tribe, rabbits, deer, and chickens, which were always hatched by hens.

But now he learned from the Son of God that roosters can also hatch chicks. How could he not be surprised?

He started working immediately and worked together with Han Cheng to feed the poor rooster.

The rooster obviously sensed that something was wrong and kept its mouth shut and refused to eat.

However, this matter was not difficult for the two charlatans of the Qingque tribe.

They found a thin bamboo tube, inserted one end into the rooster's throat, and poured millet mixed with wine into the rooster from the other end.

It goes straight to the stomach and this guy has no choice but to eat it.

I don't know if this rooster has a good alcohol tolerance or the alcohol content of the Green Bird Tribe's wine is too low, but after downing half a bowl of wine mixed with millet, this guy was just a little tipsy, but he was still some distance away from passing out.

Han Cheng reached out and felt between its chest and neck. Finding that there was still some space in its crop, he got some more wine and fed it to the man.

Even a human being would not be able to bear this kind of feeding method, let alone an egg.

After drinking some more wine, this highly-treated rooster finally couldn't stand the alcohol anymore. It closed its eyes and floated away in the clouds.

It didn't matter that he closed his eyes. His life had changed drastically since then, and he was getting closer and closer to being both a father and a mother...
