egg incubator

The Baishang tribe has a very strong desire to protect the chicks. Approaching the underage chicks without the permission of their parents will be regarded as having the intention of harming the cubs by default. If it is milder, it may be ruthless by the parents of the cubs. He pecked hard, and some of the heavier ones were desperately available on the spot. Therefore, although Bai Kui really wanted to see the legendary black-haired chick, she still made a request to the guardian of the little black chicken very politely. .

"He's asleep now, but it's okay to take a sneak peek." Bai Xiong smiled, accepting the kindness and curiosity expressed by other people in the tribe, he knew that it was only normal for Xiao Hei to be different from other people in the tribe. In the future, Xiao Hei will not be isolated in a group of small reed chickens because of his coat color.

Quietly peeling off the warm wild mouse skin, Bai Xiong stretched out his finger, and touched the soft down of the little black chicken with his fingertips. The little black chicken slept soundly, and he didn't even notice that he was rubbed by his big brother. I felt that the whole chicken curled up into a small black ball, it was so cute!

"This is my little chicken. I named him Xiao Hei. When he stands up, you will know why he is called Xiao Hei. He really doesn't have any fluff of any other color on his body. He is pure black!" The door of the good nest, Bai Xiong proudly showed off to Bai Kui.

"It's so strange! And your Xiao Hei looks really strong, that head looks much stronger than my Bai Yang's!" Bai Kui was envious, her chicken cubs have been born for three days, and it looks like they are not just born yet. Xiao Hei Zhuangshi was born half a day later.In fact, she was very envious of those pheasants whose young were strong, because the stronger the chick was, the more likely it was to survive.

"It's not easy to grow strong? Just wait until the chick is a little bigger and able to eat, and feed him more nutritious food, and it will naturally become strong." Bai Xiong studied preschool education in her previous life, so naturally I have learned a little bit of children's nutrition, so I don't know how to be proficient. I still know the basic common sense, such as what to eat to supplement calcium for children, what to eat to improve children's immunity, and so on.

The two dads couldn't stop chatting about this topic. Bai Xiong had always been good at being a teacher. Now that he met Bai Kui, who was extremely eager for parenting knowledge, he naturally knew everything——

"Actually, there are a lot of food suitable for chicks in our tribe. For example, we often eat grass seeds. Soak them overnight in water. After washing them, put them in a stone pot, and then add half a pot of water. After boiling, boil them slowly. Cook until the grass seeds are soft, take them out, and let them cool down before feeding them to chickens. After eating this kind of boiled grass seeds, the stomachs of chickens will become better and it will not be easy for them to have diarrhea .”

"What is diarrhea?"

"That's right, the poop that comes out is like water, and it keeps pooping every day, cough! I used to like eating meat, but I was prone to diarrhea when I ate too much, so now I eat some cooked grass seeds every day, with meat If you eat it together, you won't have diarrhea." Bai Xiong explained with a blushing face.

"It seems that there were chickens who pooped non-stop in the tribe before, but later..." Bai Kui seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned blue.Those chicks with diarrhea, too young to drink medicine, died in the end.

"Speaking of diarrhea, I remember that the witch doctor once mentioned that newborn chicks are easy to catch cold, and then die for no reason. In fact, I don't think there is a way to solve this. I thought of a way that might It is useful, but there are still some things missing." Bai Xiong wondered.

"What do you need? I'll find it for you! But let's talk about it first, if this method is useful, you have to make one for my little boy!" Bai Kui hurriedly said.

"What's the problem? If you can find all the materials for me, I will definitely make one for your family. My Xiao Hei and your little boy will be good brothers for the rest of their lives. By the way, after talking for so long, I don't know I don't know what your little boy's nickname is?"

"What's a nickname?" Bai Kui was a little dumbfounded.

Bai Xiong blinked, and suddenly remembered, maybe there is no custom of baby names here?He made a haha, and only said that the nickname is what parents call their children more intimately, and Bai Kui suddenly realized.

"If this is the case, then my son's nickname is Yang, because his sister died on a rainy day, so Bai Cang and I hope that after he is born until he grows up, every day in the tribe There is a big sun, and there will be no more rain." The more Bai Kui thought about it, the more she felt that the name she had chosen was really very good.

Bai Xiong: "..." Do you want to curse the tribe for not raining for a month?Hehe~ As long as you and your husband are happy.

Not wanting to linger on this topic, which is a bit damaging to the tribe, Bai Xiong hastily changed the subject, and carefully explained the materials she needed to Bai Kui——

"I want 20 yuan for the off-white stone slab in the mountain. It should be this big." Bai Xiong drew on the ground a size of about one meter long and fifty centimeters wide. He knew that this kind of off-white stone slab was not as hard as other rocks. Based on the prototype of a pheasant, its sharp claws can easily cut stone slabs. It is not difficult for Bai Kui to collect 20 yuan of stone slabs. After collecting so many stone slabs, but now he dare not leave his lair for half a step, so he can only work hard for Bai Kui.

"I also want mud bricks like 100 yuan. Did you see that? They are the ones that are drying over there. I use mud and water, add broken grass in it, stir it repeatedly, and then make it into that shape, and put it in the sun to dry. Then move it to the fire and bake it until it's completely dry."

"By the way, I also need some branches as thick as arms, and thirty bundles of dried grass. These are ready, enough for our two families to make that thing well."

What Bai Xiong wants to do is actually something he thought of when he was bored hatching eggs. It can be like a constant temperature greenhouse for the newborn chicks to live in. According to the witch doctor, after the egg-laying season, there will be The wet rainy season will be here in less than a month, and it is this season that the death rate of newborn chicks in the tribe is the highest, whether it is because of being exposed to the rain and dying of cold, or dying of drinking unclean rainwater , and even some germs and insects were infected and died because of the rainwater breeding... In short, to solve these problems, an environment that can keep warm and isolate rainwater and mosquito breeding is the key to let the chicks grow up safely .

Bai Xiong was just a preschool teacher in his previous life, and he learned how to take care of and educate children, so that babies aged 3 to 6 can better adapt to the world. He doesn't know how to make a constant temperature greenhouse, but he is worried about Xiao Hei. , let him think of another "earth method" - greenhouses in the countryside.

However, he has no way to build such a large greenhouse, and he has no other equipment to assist him. Therefore, what he can do is to use the principle of floor heating to try to provide the chicks with a relatively dry and warm environment that prevents mosquitoes from breeding.

There are no secrets in the tribe. Moreover, in order to gather what Baixiong wanted as soon as possible, Baikui also invited the best sisters in the tribe to help collect materials. After a while, even the patriarch and witch doctor knew about it. What a strange way, it is said that it is still a way to make the chicks survive the rainy season safely.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, this news caused an uproar in the entire Baishang tribe. All the pheasants that hatched successfully this year came to inquire about the news, and the families that did not hatch successfully, or did not lay eggs at all this year, also ran over. After all Well, there are no cubs this year, but it doesn't mean there won't be any next year. The fact that chicks are prone to die in the rainy season is simply a thunderbolt hanging over their heads for the pheasant family. No one wants to solve this problem.

"Uh, actually, I'm not sure whether this method will work, so I discussed it with Bai Kui. Let's try it in private. If it's really good for Xiaojizi, I will definitely teach everyone. How do you do it?" Bai Xiong was a little apprehensive about the enthusiasm of everyone in the tribe, because he himself was not sure whether the thing he was going to do would be useful.

However, after all, he wants to let his own Xiao Hei be the first experiencer. The warm house he wants to make for cubs will not do any harm even if it is useless. He has already thought about it. If it is useless, he will I will not dismantle it, just use it as a toy room for my little ones. Children are like this, and they like this kind of slightly narrow place that feels safe to them.

"Whether it's useful or not, you'll know if you make it!" Patriarch Bai Ying's tone was tinged with enthusiasm. Their family also had a chick born this year, and the most worrying thing now is the coming rainy season. If Bai Xiong figured it out That thing can really help the newborn chicks of the tribe to survive the most difficult rainy season, not to mention just collecting some easy-to-get materials, no matter how difficult things are, they are willing to try!

With the help of all the fallen pheasants, Baixiong gathered all the building materials in just two days. In order to dry the mud bricks and bundled long grass as quickly as possible, the pheasants spent I didn't sleep anymore, I lit more than a dozen bonfires, and baked mud bricks and hay day and night, and even the air in the whole tribe became dry. This environment is a bit dry for adult pheasants, However, it was just right for the chicks.

Seeing the newborn cubs in the tribe stick their heads out of the chicken coop to watch the excitement, the pheasants worked even harder.

Finally, all the materials were ready after two days, and there were even more stone slabs and mud bricks.

"Baixiong, what to do, you command everyone!" Baiying happily handed over the command to Baixiong, and the female pheasants in the tribe, one by one, ran over, one by one. He looked at Bai Xiong expectantly with bright black eyes, hoping that he could be selected, so that he would know how to make that thing.
