With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Chapter 176: Chicks can actually be hatched!

"Sister, can chicks really be hatched in this box?"

"Yes, they will hatch after a while."

My younger brother Zhou Xing squatted beside a wooden box, looking carefully at the neatly arranged pheasant eggs inside.

This wooden box looks ordinary, but it is full of secrets inside.

This was bought from the system mall by Zhou Yue using his points.

It looks like an ordinary wooden box from the outside, but it can maintain a certain temperature and humidity inside.

The incubation temperature for eggs is around 37 degrees. You can feel the warmth when you put your hand into the wooden box.

In order to prevent others from noticing the abnormality of the incubator, Zhou Yue did not allow anyone else to come close to help.

Zhou Yue put the fertilized pheasant eggs in, and only needed to wait for more than 20 days for the little pheasant to hatch.

In fact, Zhou Yue also thought about letting these pheasants hatch by themselves, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

First of all, as the weather gradually gets colder, the hatching rate will be very low.

Moreover, pheasants lay eggs every day, and as the number of fertilized eggs increases, the hens cannot hatch them all.

So I picked up this ordinary-looking wooden box from the mall, which was actually capable of hatching life.

Usually, the outside is covered with straw. When others asked about it, Zhou Yue said it was a traditional method of hatching in her hometown.

In fact, there are also ordinary electric incubators in the mall, which are much cheaper than this price.

But in this day and age, bringing out appliances like that is probably even harder to explain.

Many of the pheasants here are not actually pure pheasants, but were bought by Zhou Yue from the mall and have been artificially domesticated.

Each pheasant can lay an egg approximately every other day.

Because male and female pheasants are raised together, the probability of eggs being fertilized is quite high.

There are a lot of eggs to hatch, and we have bought a lot of wooden boxes. It won’t be long before the number of pheasants here will increase several times!

Compared with pigs, cattle and sheep, the growth cycle of chickens is much faster. By then, the troops will no longer face the problem of meat shortage!

When the first batch of chicks hatched, many comrades came over after hearing the news, and the chicken farm was surrounded by people.

"Wow! Chicks actually hatched!"

"This little chick is so cute! So furry!"

"Comrade Zhou Yue's method is really good! They have all hatched!"

"That's right! Even my old hen couldn't hatch so many!"

The atmosphere among the crowd is cheerful; these little chicks are hope!

The weather is getting cooler, and the timing is not good for these chicks to hatch.

It was a bit chilly at night, which was very bad for the newly hatched chicks.

Newly hatched chicks need a warm environment, otherwise they will die from hypothermia.

In modern times, this problem is easy to solve, just turn on a warm light.

But it was the 30s, and few people could use electric lights.

Ordinary people couldn't even afford candles.

Every day after the sun sets, the room becomes pitch dark and all I can do is fall asleep. There is no entertainment to do.

If we can’t get out the heating lamp, the survival rate of these chicks will be worrying…

While Zhou Yue was worrying about this, these comrades had already spontaneously begun to arrange a comfortable nest for the chicks.

It has to be said that Chinese people have an innate talent in growing vegetables and raising animals.

When Zhou Yue saw the chicks' nest, she couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.

In such a warm little nest, let alone freezing, you might even get heat stroke...
