Chapter 103: Hatching Chicks and Making Brood Boxes
The chicks in the sacred land of Peach Blossom Land have hatched.
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed. She went over and touched the chicks, then counted them: 1, 2, 3... 7, 8!
A total of eight chicks were hatched, and the hatching rate is acceptable.
Now it's time to think about how to feed the newly hatched chicks.
When Lu Xingchen was a child, she and her grandmother used a quilt to hatch chicks and also raised them. She remembered that chicks do not need to eat when they are just born, but they must be taught to drink water.
Also, chicks are afraid of cold and need to be kept warm within a week after birth. The first two days even need to be around 35 degrees. It is spring all year round in Taoyuan, and now the temperature is about 27 or 28 degrees, which the chicks can't stand.
Outside Taoyuan, the temperature difference between day and night on the raft is large, and it is not suitable for raising chickens.
We need to make a warm brooder for the chicks; they're huddled together and chirping because they're cold.
Lu Xingchen went to check the incubator and took out the eggshells and unhatched eggs.
Now, the temperature in here is still the same as when it was hatched, which is a little over 37 degrees. You can put the chicks here first and think of other ways.
Lu Xingchen caught the chicks one by one and brought them back to the incubator. He went out to Peach Blossom Spring, made a small lid out of thin bamboo poles, and left a gap between the two poles. Then he took it back to Peach Blossom Spring and put it on the incubator.
The original lid of the incubator is no longer usable.
Actually, this is just a temporary solution; she still needs to quickly make a brooder box to keep the chicks warm.
Lu Xingchen emerged from Peach Blossom Paradise.
Lu Xingchen left Taoyuan and rummaged through the warehouse.
Finally, she found an empty wooden box, which was just the right size to make a brooder.
Although it's a bit big, we can just put more things in it when the time comes.
It would have been better to lay some dry weeds or straw on the bed, but when she went out on an adventure, she didn't bring back any weeds.
What should I do?
Never mind, just ask in the chat channel.
Lu Xingchen: "Does anyone have any wild grass? I'll collect some and exchange it for wood or water!"
Wild grass has little value, so it can be exchanged for the most common resources such as wood and water.
Unfortunately, no one had any, but there was a lot of gossip and chatter. Many people wondered why Lu Xingchen needed wild grass, and kept asking him questions.
Lu Xingchen was overwhelmed.
Why doesn't this game have a trading system yet? It's so troublesome to have to ask in the area chat every time, and players always keep talking about it.
However, she shouted out just to check her private messages and see if anyone was looking for her.
The first person to look for her was Gao Dafu: "Lu Xingchen, if you need weeds, come to me. No, look for Gu Yanzhi. Just now, Gu Yanzhi was so stubborn that he insisted on opening a box himself. As a result, he got a box full of solid weeds. If you go to him too late, he will throw it away!"
Gao Dafu paused for a moment, then continued, "I told you, he left the weeds behind. Lu Xingchen, let me tell you, no one else can plant weeds except Gu Yanzhi. Otherwise, look at your private messages, no one will contact you!"
Lu Xingchen took a look and, sure enough, all the private messages were nonsense; not a single person had any information about wild grass.
After all, there are weeds everywhere you go on an island, and nobody would think of pulling them up!
At this time, she also received a private message and a friend request from Gu Yanzhi.
Gu Yanzhi directly sent over a box of wild grass, leaving only two words: "For you!"
this……
Lu Xingchen thought for a long time and didn't know how to repay. If he gave him something, Gu Yanzhi would not be interested in a few pieces of wood and a few bottles of water. If he didn't give him anything, it would be a waste of money.
After thinking about it, Lu Xingchen said, "Okay, thank you!"
I'll still have dealings with Gao Dafu and Gu Yanzhi in the future, so let's leave it at that for now. There will always be a time to repay the favor.
Lu Xingchen took the wild grass.
These wild grasses are of good quality; they are all quite dry, and they are thin and soft, making them perfect for making chicken coops.
