Qi Yaomin's book: When the mulberry leaves fall, the hatched chicks are the best. Small and light-colored, thin and short legs and feet are chickens that lay many eggs and are good at hatching. Chickens hatched in spring and summer are not good. The one with big body, beautiful feathers and long legs and feet is. I like to run around, I like to scream, I don't often lay eggs, and I don't like to hatch chickens. They don't lay eggs very often, so they can't reproduce. Chickens hatched in spring and summer, don't give up their nests within 20 days, and feed them dry rice. Leaving the nest early will inevitably be hurt by crows and eagles; Feeding wet rice will make its anus fester.

The habitat of chickens should be made into chicken cages on the spot, and wooden frames should be placed in the cages. Although the chicken's cry is not big, it stands steady, easy to gain weight, and at the same time it can avoid the evil of the fox. If it is allowed to perch on trees, once it encounters strong wind and cold, the big chicken will become thinner and even die.

Burning willow branches will hurt chickens, the little ones will die and the big ones will be blind. This statement is the same as the saying that "burning millet will kill gourd", and it is difficult to understand why.

"Family Law" says: Chicken raising method: Plow an acre of ripe field first in February, sprinkle it with glutinous rice porridge, and cut off fresh thatch to cover the ground, which will naturally produce white worms. So, buy ten yellow hens and a rooster. Build a hut 15 feet square on the ground, and hang a scaffold under the roof to let the chickens live on it. It is very hot in summer, even during the day, chickens will come back to the house to enjoy the cool. In addition, some huts should be built in the garden, where hens can hatch their chicks, but blackbirds can't get in.

In order to make chickens fatten up quickly, they don't go to the house, don't plan the garden, and are not afraid of crows, eagles and foxes. Methods: Make a wall dock, open a small door on the wall, and make a small factory in the wall dock to shelter chickens from the wind, rain and hot sun. Cut off the feathers on the chicken wings of the rooster and mother so that they can't fly over the wall. Usually collect more food such as chaff seeds, barnyard grass and wild peas to feed, and you can also make a small drinking water tank to store water. Weave a chicken coop with Vitex negundo and place it one foot from the ground. The chicken excrement under the henhouse should be cleaned frequently. Dig a small cave in the wall, which is also a foot high from the ground. Put some hay in the cave in winter, and if you don't put it, the eggs will freeze; Don't put grass in spring, summer and autumn, just lie in the soil and let it lay eggs and hatch chickens. The grass in the nest is prone to maggots. After the chicks hatch, they should be taken out of the hole and covered with cages. When it grows to the size of a quail, it can be put into a wall jar. Don't cook for the chicken, steam the wheat and feed it, and it will gain weight in about three to seven days.

Collection method of daily cereal eggs: pick out some hens and don't mix them with cocks. Break walls, cut off wings and feathers, make thorns and roost, dig holes in walls, etc. , are the same as above. But feed more food, let it gain weight in winter and lay eggs naturally in the valley. A chicken lays more than 100 eggs and cannot be used to hatch chickens. You can eat them all without sin.

Black chickens will get old and people will get sick after eating them. Eating a six-toed chicken will kill you.

"Health theory" said: Chicken is not suitable for children to eat, it will give birth to roundworms and make the body thin.
