It was already bright outside. Han Cheng woke up from his sleep and rubbed his head with a wry smile.
I was so disturbed by dreams last night that I couldn't sleep well all night. When I woke up, I was completely confused.
If two cubs like this are really born, what's the point?
After lying there in a daze for a while, Han Cheng sniffled and started to get up. After washing, he continued to the chicken pen to see the chickens.
After I got there, I discovered that the rooster who was incubating the eggs had already left the nest and was leading a group of fluffy balls, looking for something to eat in the chicken pen.
This group of newly born chicks, with their newborn curiosity, ran around the rooster, making childish cries.
One or two greedy chickens were focused on looking for something to eat on the ground.
I finally found a cut blade of grass and put it in my mouth. Before I could eat it, another man saw the food and ran over quickly to cut it off.
He opened his mouth and pecked the other end of the grass blade, and the two began a tug-of-war like eating rice noodles across a bridge.
The two little guys fought back and forth for a while, then each ate a portion of what they had grabbed.
He tilted his head and wiped his mouth from side to side on the ground. When he looked up, he found that the father chicken had walked away with the other chicks.
The two satisfied little guys immediately panicked and didn't care about anything else. They screamed anxiously, flapped their furry wings, spread their slender legs, and ran quickly towards the old rooster.
After running to the old rooster, he finally calmed down and started running around leisurely again.
The scene of two little chickens screaming and flying towards the big rooster made Han Cheng frightened. The dream he had last night had left a shadow on him.
Fourteen?
I lay here and watched for a while, and finally counted all these little fluffy balls running around.
Shouldn't there be fifteen? Why is there one missing?
Han Cheng quickly went to see the chicken coop.
The chicken coop was filled with bloody eggshells left behind after the chicks hatched out of their shells.
I uncovered a corner of the net, poked it with a stick, and sure enough I found an intact egg inside.
Han Cheng quickly found a net bag, reached in and netted out the egg.
If you listen carefully to your ear, you can faintly hear the faint chirping of chickens, as well as the occasional sound of pecking eggshells.
Seeing this, Han Cheng quickly covered the egg in his hand, then turned and ran towards the room.
Returning to the house, he placed the eggs in the armpits of Bai Xuemei, who had become sleepy due to her pregnancy, to keep her warm.
This is a rather unlucky chick. Its unlucky thing is that it develops much later than other chicks.
It takes a certain amount of time for a chicken to incubate an egg. After most of the chicks are hatched, and if the chicken is pulled back and forth for too long, it will get up and lead the hatched chicks away.
Because if we don’t leave, the chicks that hatched earlier will be too hungry to hold on.
At the same time, it is also a relatively lucky guy. The lucky thing is that when Han Cheng passed away, the old rooster did not leave the nest for too long.
If we delay for a while longer, we will inevitably freeze to death in this season.
Bai Xuemei was awakened by Han Cheng's actions. Just as she was about to turn over, Han Cheng, who had quick hands and quick eyes, reached out to hold her.
If you turn it over, you can eat eggs.
After figuring out what Brother Cheng put in her armpit, Bai Xuemei, who was still a little confused, immediately became energetic, and then became a little confused again.
Aren't chicks hatched only by chickens? When will people be able to hatch chicks?
Bai Xuemei blinked and asked Han Cheng.
Not only can humans hatch chicks, they can put hot water in a large tank, put a sieve on top, put eggs in the sieve, and cover it with a quilt. As long as the temperature is well controlled, chicks can also be hatched.
The kang is also made.
After all, the eggs have already been successfully fertilized when they are laid by the hen, all they need is a suitable temperature.
Bai Xuemei, who got the exact answer from Han Cheng, was not sleepy at all. Such novel things can attract her attention the most.
She lay there, holding the egg in her armpit, listening to the faint cries of the chickens from time to time, and feeling the movement of the chickens pecking at the egg shells. She looked so happy and novel that she didn't even eat breakfast.
.
Seeing that Bai Xuemei was so happy, Han Cheng sat here and talked to her for a while, then went out again.
He wanted to get some better food and feed the newly born chicks.
Due to the chick's continuous efforts, the hard eggshell finally couldn't withstand it. At about ten o'clock in the morning, there was a small break in one part of the eggshell.
The hole gradually widened, revealing the pointed mouth of the chick.
Bai Xuemei opened her big eyes and watched without blinking, very seriously and happily.
Near noon, the eggshell finally broke open, and a fluffy chick emerged from inside.
The chick is gray overall, with a bit of orange in its mouth and paws. It is fluffy, like a small ball, and extremely cute.
The newly born chick looked around, and after calling a few times, it naturally lay down next to Bai Xuemei, very quiet and well-behaved.
This chick, which has never seen other chicks of the same kind, obviously regards the white snow girl it sees at first sight as its mother.
Han Cheng came over and smiled when he saw the chicken. After all, a full-grown chicken has a lot more meat than a raw egg.
He pinched some millet and put it in Bai Xuemei's hand. Bai Xuemei turned her body half sideways and spread her palm out, placing it in front of Xiaoji.
The fluffy chick looked at it for a while, then lowered its head and started to peck at the rice with its small orange mouth.
The chick was just born and was not very strong. Its small mouth pecked the palm of its hand and made it itch. Bai Xuemei giggled with joy.
This little chicken completely regarded this place as its home. After eating some millet and drinking a few small drinks of water, it ran back and forth on the kang, scratching here and taking a few bites there.
The bright sunshine passed through the gap in the window lattice, shone diagonally into the house, and fell on the kang, leaving a thin beam of light.
Inside the light beam, there are fine dust floating constantly, which looks very fun.
Such things quickly attracted the attention of this newly born chick.
It came under the light pillar, tilted its head and looked at it for a while, then started to kick on the ground with its two slender legs, jumped up hard, fluttered its small wings, and stretched its neck to peck at the light pillar.
When I landed, my feet were unsteady and I fell to the ground, rolling like a hair ball.
The clumsy and cute look made Han Chengdu laugh out loud.
After doing this for a while, Han Cheng was ready to take the chick away and send it to the rooster who had become a new chicken mother, and let him lead it.
Such plans were finally completely abandoned when facing Bai Xuemei's reluctant and pitiful eyes.
