Chapter 374 The biggest temptation for chickens is...

Seeing another bird egg being pulled out, Chen Ling quickly tore off his clothes and quickly traced the location of the egg with his eyes. Next, open the clothes with both hands to catch it firmly.

"Fortunately, it didn't break..."

Chen Ling took a look at the bird egg. It was slightly larger than a pigeon egg, gray-green, with small light brown spots on it. , quite like a quail egg, but larger than a quail egg, and the patches are lighter in color and more pointed.

“This thief bird is very courageous. The dog barked for so long and still didn’t fly away.”

"Go."

Chen Ling stretched out his hand and shook the tree, shouting to scare away the bird, and then the bird flapped its wings and flew away.

"What's wrong, brother-in-law? What are the two Hei babies calling?"

At this time, Wang Zhenzhen ran over to the farm with a group of puppies and a kitten.

Today is Saturday, and the little girl came very early. In addition to helping Wang Susu take care of the children, she was also thinking about the good cartoons and TV series on the weekend.

She and Wang Susu were picking up eggs there just now, and they ran over when they heard the noise.

Wang Susu also came behind holding Ruirui.

“I didn’t call anything, I just saw a cuckoo picking up eggs from other people’s nests.”

Chen Ling pointed to the bird’s nest in the tree, and then pointed to the bird’s nest. Two eggs at the feet.

As soon as Wang Zhenzhen saw two bird eggs with yolks all over the ground, Erhei and a bunch of little guys rushed forward and quickly licked the yolks, egg whites and eggshells clean.

Heiwa and Xiaojin couldn't help but drool a little. They also like to eat eggs very much. They couldn't hold back when they heard the sound of eggs being beaten. However, they were praised by Chen Ling just now and told them to eat well. He acted like a primary school student. He listened to a few words of encouragement from the teacher just after taking the chicken blood injection.

So I suppressed my gaze and acted very well-behaved and steady.

"Let's go, let's go, you guys ate the eggs before I could see clearly."

Wang Zhenzhen pushed the bunch of cowards away in frustration.

“It’s okay, the dog ate it. I still have it here.”

Chen Ling handed her the bird's egg caught in his clothes. Wang Zhenzhen immediately let out an ooh and aah, took it in his hand and rubbed it twice, then raised his head and stared at the bird's nest on the tree with bright eyes.

"Brother-in-law, what kind of bird's nest is this? Let me dig it out."

Rural children have an unusual obsession with digging out bird's nests. Even many female dolls are like this. After all, birds The taste of eggs is no worse than eggs. How can greedy little kids let it go so easily?

Chen Ling smiled when he heard this: "You often dig out bird's nests, can't you recognize them?"

"Hee hee, you don't recognize them all, even my brother-in-law. This nest is a mess. It looks like a turtle dove's nest to me, but the turtle dove's nest is not that big, and the eggs it lays don't look like this..."

Wang Zhenzhen smiled and shook the eggs in his hand, then stuffed them back into Chen Ling's hand, "I'll take them out first."

He turned around and was about to climb the tree to dig out the bird's nest.

Wang Susu came forward at this time. She frowned when she saw this scene and shouted: "What do you want to do? The clothes you just changed yesterday are dirty and torn. Let's see how mother will deal with you." "

"Oh, don't worry, sister, I can't get it on my clothes."

"No, come down."

Wang Zhenzhen had no choice but to reluctantly let go of the tree trunk and stood aside with a pout.

Chen Ling patted her little head, then reached out to take Ruirui from Wang Susu's arms, and pointed to the bird's nest on the tree for his wife and son.

After hearing what Chen Ling said, Wang Susu was very surprised: "Is the cuckoo so bad? Laying eggs in other bird's nests and pulling out other people's eggs?"
< br>Yes, the bird that picked up the eggs just now is the cuckoo, also known as the cuckoo.

This guy can't hatch eggs or raise chicks by himself. When the breeding season comes, he lays his own eggs in other bird's nests and lets other birds help them hatch.

And if there are too many eggs in other bird's nests, they will push a few eggs out of the nest.

It is so that your offspring can hatch safely and thrive.

"Isn't that right..."

Chen Ling looked at his wife's cute look and couldn't help but smile: "You don't know, this bird is born to be a thief. , Afraid of starvation, in order to grab food, its eggs break out of the shell faster than other birds. The little bird has been bad since childhood. After hatching from the egg, before it even opened its eyes, it followed the big bird. It's the same, you have to push out the eggs from the same nest with all your strength.

Even if these eggs are not pushed out, but they are hatched later, this cuckoo hatches early and grows quickly. They will also be pecked to death.”

After he said this, not only Wang Susu was stunned, but Wang Zhenzhen was also stunned: "Wow, why is this bird like this?"

Then he looked up and said: "Brother-in-law, you forgot to tell me, what kind of bird is this?" Nest, why are you so unlucky that the cuckoo kicked out several eggs?”

“It’s an old bird’s nest. There are so many old bird’s nests in the mountains. I don’t believe you have never seen them.”

"Ah? Is this an old bird's nest? It's so small. The old bird's nest I've seen is almost the same as a magpie's nest. There are many dead branches piled together. There are many more branches than this bird's nest. It's hard to dig out. "

Wang Zhenzhen raised his little face, with big doubts in his eyes.

"Really, sister? The old owl's nest outside our village is just like that. It can't be distinguished from a magpie's nest."

Wang Susu hummed and nodded slightly, "Our village is on the mountain, and the one in the mountain here is The old bird's nest is also very big, and I can't tell it clearly."

She went to the mountains to collect herbs more often in the past two years, but she saw many old bird's nests.

"There are many birds in our orchard. This old stork's nest must have been built just in the spring. It looks a bit small."

The young daughter-in-law said and looked at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is a newly built nest. This old bird is just like the grass swallow. It has to build a new nest every year when it lays eggs..."

Then he taught the two sisters, How to distinguish this old stork's nest from a magpie's nest.

First of all, whether they are in deep mountains or close to villages, most of the nests are much smaller than those of magpies, and the nests of old birds are also shorter than those of magpies.

Although they are just a bunch of messy dead branches, the old rookery's nest looks rough from the outside and rough inside, but the magpie's nest has something else going on inside.

The three of them pointed at the bird's nest and talked, but Ruirui in Chen Ling's arms was unwilling to be left alone. He stretched out his little hand and pulled out the old bird's egg that he was holding in his hand. He picked it up and was about to put it in. Gag in mouth.

Chen Ling was shocked when he saw it and quickly snatched it away. This kid really put everything in his mouth.

Wang Susu even took her son into her arms and slapped his little butt several times.

"Hahaha, Ruirui is hungry and wants to eat eggs. Can my aunt pay for them for you?" Wang Zhenzhen jumped up and teased his little nephew when he saw this.

Wang Susu doesn’t know what her sister is thinking. It's strange that this monkey could resist his curiosity after hearing Chen Ling's story about the cuckoo.

He glanced at her and said, "You are not allowed to climb trees. If you want to dig out bird eggs, go home with your brother-in-law and move the ladder. Move the ladder over and then climb up the tree."

When Wang Zhenzhen heard this, he said, With joy on his face, he dragged Chen Ling and ran home.

Excuse me, is climbing a tree different from climbing a ladder?

The little girl couldn't wait to see if there was a cuckoo's egg in the bird's nest as her brother-in-law said.

Chen Ling didn't think that the cuckoo could lay eggs into the old rookery's nest so quickly.

Finally, I leaned on the ladder and climbed up the tree to take a look. I found that there was actually a very conspicuous strange thing in the old rover's nest, which was the cuckoo's egg.

Chen Ling muttered when he saw this: "No wonder he was so anxious to pull the old rambler's egg out. It turns out that the egg was actually laid in."

"Brother-in-law, I pulled this cuckoo's egg out." Take the eggs." Wang Zhenzhen stood on a thick branch nearby and said with bright eyes.

"Okay, take it out. Didn't your teacher assign a composition? Just write a composition based on this."

"Hee hee, okay."

Why wouldn't Wang Zhenzhen be happy to write such a fun thing into a composition? Besides, when it comes to school, he can show off to his teachers and classmates. It's very beautiful just thinking about it.

Wang Susu listened to the conversation between the two of them under the tree. She couldn't help but smile and said to herself: Ah Ling is really good at coaxing babies. He knew that Zhenzhen was watching TV and didn't want to do his homework, so he used this method to coax him. she.

One big and one small on the tree took out the cuckoo's eggs, and took another old rambler egg, leaving three.

According to Chen Ling, three eggs are just right, and the survival rate of hatched birds is higher.

"Sister, you hold the eggs for us, and we will find a few more bird's nests to dig out. The three eggs just now are not enough for Rui Rui to eat."

Knowing that Wang Zhen was really addicted to playing, Wang Susu didn't point it out. She held the eggs for the two of them and watched them continue to look for the bird's nest.

There have been so many bird nests in the farm orchard in the past two years, on the trees and under the trees.

But let alone the ones under the tree, dogs and mountain raccoons often visit. They have also learned to be smart and come to the farm to find food during the day instead of building nests here.

So there are more and more bird nests in the trees.

Chen Ling took the little girl to check a few trees. This was the peak season for birds to lay eggs. For every two bird nests, one nest would lay eggs, and each nest would be different. Take more, take two for those who lay more eggs, take one or none for those who lay less eggs. Soon Wang Susu's hand was filled with eggs, so she had to put them in a straw hat and let Ruirui watch the eggs. It was screaming and babbling, and it was drooling all the time.

The air in the morning was very good and the sun was rising. Several main crew members who were staying at the farm came out chatting and laughing, preparing to go to the village for dinner. When they saw their family playing here, they seemed to be picking out birds. Come and take a look.

"Fugui, it's rare for you to eat so late today. It's already past eight o'clock, so why don't you rush to make breakfast?" Fat director Lao Kang came over and said with a smile.

The farm is at the foot of the mountain. It is very quiet and there is no noise, so they can hear the cooking noise very clearly, and they also know that the Chen Ling family always gets up early to cook.

"Haha, the baby at home is clamoring to pick out the bird. He forgets the time as soon as he plays." Chen Ling stepped on the ladder and replied with a smile.

The young actors were attracted by a straw hat bird egg placed in the grass at Wang Susu's feet, and gathered around to admire it.

The two actresses squatted down, teased Ruirui, and after saying a few words to Wang Susu, they raised their heads and said to Wang Zhenzhen on the tree: "Little sister, can you give us two bird eggs?"
< br>"Okay, you can take it..."

After taking out so many eggs, Wang Zhenzhen was very generous: "But don't take the eggs of the cuckoo and the old owl, I want to take them back to hatch them. "Hatch them and let them fight."

"Why let them fight?" The two actresses were a little confused after hearing this.

“Because the cuckoo is bad, I want to hatch it out together with the old bird, and then I won’t give it food or drink, and let the old bird teach it a lesson...” Wang Zhenzhen clenched his little fists with a look on his face. indignant.

This was not taught to her by Chen Ling and Wang Susu, it was an idea she came up with on her own.

So Chen Ling and his wife were also surprised when they heard it, and then they couldn't laugh or cry. This girl knows how to mess around.

However, the two actresses still didn't understand why she did this, so they asked her why the cuckoo was broken. People call it cuckoo. Isn't it a good bird?

This is teasing Wang Zhenzhen as a naughty child.

Wang Zhenzhen told them the story of the cuckoo. After telling it, not only the two of them, but also the fat director and a few others were a little surprised. They really didn't know what this bird was. Law.

"But how do you hatch the eggs? You took out all these eggs." asked the actress.

“Don’t be afraid, I have an old hen with a nest in my house. Once the old hen has a nest, it will hatch if you put a round stone, let alone the eggs.”

“Wow, Then little sister, please help us hatch two little birds, we don’t want any more eggs.” After all, the two actresses were young. When they heard this, they immediately found it very interesting and quickly begged Wang Zhenzhen.

"Okay, I'll choose whatever bird you want to hatch for you."

Wang Zhenzhen jumped down from the ladder and clapped his little hands, looking like a little adult.

Instead, the two actresses surrounding her were made to look like little followers. They kept asking Wang Zhenzhen which bird's egg this and that one was from, which one hatched quickly, which one was prettier, and so on.

The two young girls, the elder and the younger, gathered around a bird's egg in a straw hat and chatted non-stop. Even when the fat director called for dinner, the two young girls didn't bother to go. They only said that they would not eat breakfast and wanted to take the bird's egg. Don't worry until you put it in the chicken coop.

Actually, two young male actors were also quite moved, but because of the man's face, they kept silent and turned around every step of the way.

Here, Mr. and Mrs. Chen Ling held their son in their arms and accompanied them to the chicken coop to look for old hens in their nests.

Chen Ling kept the hens in the hen house in the spring so that they could be more easily managed. Otherwise, if they were in the mountains and they didn't move their nests, they would be easily killed and eaten by mountain civets and weasels at night.

"Brother Chen, is it really okay to use old hens to hatch bird eggs?"

"Okay, don't worry, the biggest temptation for old hens during the nesting period is eggs, whether eggs, duck eggs or stone eggs, as long as they look like It's an egg. When it sees it, it will lie on it, or pull it under its body to hatch it. "

"Will the chicken crush the egg? The old hen is so fat and heavy. ."

"No way."

While talking here, I heard an angry "cluck..." from the chicken coop, and a big flower chicken was already there. He stretched out his head and pecked Wang Zhenzhen's hand fiercely. Fortunately, Wang Zhenzhen had practiced picking up eggs frequently and dodged it very quickly.

"Be careful, Zhenzhen. The old hen in the nest is very angry. Don't peck your hand."

"I know, it's okay."

Wang Zhenzhen turned around and rushed. The sister and brother-in-law smiled coquettishly, then slapped the plump big chicken on the head, and threatened fiercely, "If you dare to peck me, if you peck me again, my brother-in-law will kill you, and you will eat spicy fried chicken today."

Then he reached out and pinched the big flower chicken's mouth.

Just when she was showing off to these two beautiful elder sisters, the old hen pecked her hand. It was really disrespectful.
