"Old Wu, we have to take care of this matter as soon as possible. I will find someone to buy chickens, ducks and geese later. The chicken farm must also start action as soon as possible."
The captain was smoking the cigarette handed over by Zhou Ziwen, but he was thinking about how to handle this matter.
Wu Dagang nodded, "Let's have a meeting later! Let's unify our opinions first."
Although the two of them basically make the final decision regarding the production team, they still have to discuss it with other cadres of the production team and the members.
"Uncle Zhou, there is no need to buy chickens. We just need to collect the eggs and duck eggs in the village. Leave the hatching to me. I can do this."
Zhou Ziwen reminded from the side.
"Can you still hatch chickens?" The captain was already immune to Zhou Ziwen's excellence.
Anyway, after such a long period of contact, he already knew that this kid was a genius, a genius among geniuses.
Know everything and know everything.
"Yes, Uncle Zhou, I can hatch chickens. I have hatched goose eggs before, and the goslings hatched successfully." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"That's good. If we hatch the eggs ourselves, we can save a lot of costs."
Hearing this, the captain and Wu Dagang were very happy.
"Well, I will make a broadcast later and inform everyone to send eggs that can be hatched to the pig farm." Wu Dagang said hurriedly.
This old man likes to make announcements on the radio. Whatever happens in the village, he will make the announcement.
"Okay, I'll gather your cadres together later and talk to everyone first." The captain nodded.
"Then let's make some preparations here and let Brother Li prepare some incubation boxes first." Zhou Ziwen said.
The three of them discussed for a while and quickly took action.
Wu Dagang and the team leader went to convene a meeting with cadres, while Zhou Ziwen and Li Lei discussed hatching chickens and ducks.
Since you want to set up a chicken farm, there must be a lot of chickens that need to be hatched.
Moreover, when setting up a chicken farm in the future, it will be necessary to hatch new chickens.
Zhou Ziwen and Li Lei discussed it and decided to transform the warehouse next door into an incubation room.
The pig farm has many warehouses.
Some store grain, some store biological feed, and some store farm tools and some small machinery and equipment.
Of course, there are still more empty warehouses. After all, the pig farm is newly built, and the Landrace pigs and the black pigs of the production team currently only occupy a small area.
According to Zhou Ziwen's plan, this pig farm can raise 3,000 pigs.
After discussing the conversion of the warehouse into an incubation room, Zhou Ziwen and Li Lei discussed how to transform it.
Zhou Ziwen and Li Lei stood in front of the empty warehouse of the pig farm, carefully looking at the space that was about to be transformed into an incubation room.
The warehouse is large enough to accommodate their planned incubators and required equipment.
"Brother Li, the first thing we need to consider is the temperature and humidity control of the incubation room."
"Hatching chickens requires a stable temperature and humidity environment to ensure the success rate of hatching." Zhou Ziwen said.
"How to do it?" Li Lei asked.
"We need to build some incubation beds. You can contact Uncle Liang Wu for the incubation beds. I will go and tell him the requirements later, and then it will be iron plates, water bags, kerosene lamps and other things..."
Zhou Ziwen recalled the breeding technology in his mind.
His breeding skills have reached level four, and he naturally has a method for hatching chickens.
Based on the current actual situation, he decided to use a waterbed method for incubation. This method is also very simple, that is, put a water bag on the bed, then spread it with heat-insulating materials such as straw and quilts, and then put the eggs on top.
The temperature is adjusted by the temperature of the water in the water bag. An iron plate is added under the bed and heated by a kerosene lamp to keep the temperature stable.
Hatching eggs has very high temperature requirements.
It won't work if it's too low, and it won't work if it's too high. It needs to be monitored in real time.
Zhou Ziwen continued: "So we also need to prepare thermometers and place them at different locations on the incubation bed to check whether the temperature is uniform at any time."
Li Lei nodded in agreement, "How to control the humidity?"
"In terms of humidity, we can place several water basins in the corners of the warehouse to adjust the humidity through natural evaporation of water. At the same time, pay attention to ventilation to avoid mold growth caused by excessive humidity." Zhou Ziwen explained.
The two of them discussed and walked to the village committee office.
Wu Dagang and the team leader have already gone to summon the cadres of the production team.
Zhou Ziwen and Li Lei are also cadres of the production team and are going to the meeting.
By the time the two of them arrived at the village committee office, the incubation matter had almost been discussed.
"Ziwen, you're here, come and sit down."
"I have a seat here, sit here."
As soon as they entered the door, the cadres of the production team greeted Zhou Ziwen and Li Lei warmly.
After Zhou Ziwen and Li Lei smiled and thanked them, they found a place to sit down.
Seeing that everyone was here, Wu Dagang knocked on the cigarette rod in his hand and began to introduce the plan of the chicken farm and related matters related to hatching chickens.
"You should know the purpose of coming here today."
"We decided to build a chicken farm. In order to save costs, we did not plan to buy chickens. Instead, we collected eggs from the village and hatched them ourselves. Comrade Zhou Ziwen has experience in hatching, so this task was handed over to him."
"Really want to build a chicken farm? Are we busy enough?" Wang Hongjun, the first captain, asked.
"Yes, although there are a lot of people in our village, a group of mushroom cultivation bases have been allocated, and a group of pig farms have been allocated. If we build another chicken farm, it may delay the work in the fields."
< br>
Second captain Liu Guoyong also spoke in agreement.
Wu Dagang has also considered this problem and thought of a solution.
He said: "I can understand everyone's concerns, but the chicken farm is also built to increase collective income and improve everyone's lives."
"We can rationally arrange manpower, such as letting some women and elderly people be responsible for the daily work of the chicken farm, so that the work in the field will not be delayed."
After all, raising chickens does not require much physical strength. Women and the elderly who are less able to raise chickens can also earn more work points.
The team leader also continued: "We can also adjust personnel arrangements according to the season and the priority of farm work."
"For example, when farming is busy, the main focus will be on the fields, and the work on the chicken farm can be slowed down appropriately; when farming is slack, the construction and production of the chicken farm will be increased."
"Well, it doesn't take many people to raise chickens. The biological feed can be given to pig farms." Zhou Ziwen also suggested.
"Of course, the most important thing is to increase the population. The living conditions in our Dabazi Village are getting better now. I think we can let the unmarried young men in the village contribute. Don't just focus on your own home, you can go to other villages. Let’s look at each other!”
“When you come back with a wife, that’s also your labor force!”
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly became lively.
Some people found it funny, but some people's eyes lit up and they thought it was a good idea. (End of chapter)
