Survival At Sea: My Raft Leads To Taoyuan

The chicks in Taoyuan Sanctuary have hatched.

Lu Xingchen was very pleasantly surprised. She walked over to touch the chicken, and then counted, 1, 2, 3... 7, 8!

A total of eight chicks hatched, the hatching rate is OK.

Now it's time to think about how to feed your newborn chicks.

When Lu Xingchen was a child, she hatched chickens with a quilt with her grandma, and raised them accordingly. She remembered that when a chicken was born, it could not eat, but it had to be taught to drink water.

Also, chicks are afraid of the cold, so they need to keep warm for a week after birth. The first two days even need to be around 35 degrees. In Taoyuan, it is like spring all the year round. Now it is about 27 or 8 degrees, and the chicks can't bear it.

Outside Taoyuan, the temperature difference between day and night on the raft is large, so it is not suitable for raising chickens.

Need to make a warm brooder for the chicks, now they are huddled together and squawking is cold.

Lu Xingchen went to see the incubator and took out the egg shells and unborn eggs.

Now, the temperature here is still the same as when it was hatched, which is a little over 37 degrees. You can put the chicks here first, and think of other ways.

Lu Xingchen took the chicks back to the incubator one by one, went out to Taoyuan, made a small cover with thin bamboo poles, and left a little space between the two bamboo poles, then brought them back to Taoyuan and covered the incubator.

The original cover of the incubator is no longer usable.

In fact, this can only be done first. She still needs to quickly make a brooder box that can keep the chicks warm.

Lu Xingchen came out of Taoyuan Holy Land.

Lu Xingchen went out from Taoyuan and turned around in Curry.

Finally, she dug out an empty wooden box, which was just enough to make a brooder box.

Although it is a bit big, it will be enough to spread more things when the time comes.

It would be better to spread dry weeds or straw or something like that, but she went out on an adventure, but she didn't bring back weeds.

This is how to do?

Forget it, chat channel to ask.

Lu Xingchen: "Whoever has weeds, harvest some and exchange them with wood or water!"

Weeds are worthless, so they can be exchanged for the most common materials such as wood and water.

It's a pity that everyone didn't have it, and there were a lot of gossips and chats. Many people wondered why Lu Xingchen needed weeds and asked around.

Lu Xingchen's head grew big.

Why doesn't this game have a trading system? Every time I have to chat in the area, it's too troublesome. Every time the players talk non-stop.

However, she yelled just to watch the private chat, to see if anyone was looking for her.

The first person to look for her was Gao Dafu: "Lu Xingchen, you need weeds to find me, no, look for Gu Yanzhi, just now Gu Yanzhi didn't believe in evil, and he had to open the box by himself, but in the end, it was full A box of strong weeds, you go to him, and he will throw it away when it is too late!"

Gao Dafu paused for a moment, and then said: "I told you, he left the weeds behind, Lu Xingchen, let me tell you, no one else can grow weeds except Gu Yanzhi, otherwise you can read your private message and be sure." No one is looking for you!"

Lu Xingchen took a look, and sure enough, the people who sent private letters were all nonsense, and no one had any weeds.

After all, as long as there are weeds on the island, no one would think of pulling weeds!

At this time, she also received Gu Yanzhi's private message and friend request.

Gu Yanzhi directly sent over a box of weeds, leaving only two words: "For you!"

this……

Lu Xingchen thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to repay him. Give something, a few pieces of wood and a bottle of water, Gu Yanzhi is not uncommon, if you don't give something, it's a waste of money.

After thinking about it, Lu Xingchen said, "Okay, thank you!"

In the future, I will still meet with Gao Dafu and Gu Yanzhi, so let's do this first, there is always a time to return favors.

Lu Xingchen took the weeds.

The quality of these weeds is not bad, they are relatively dry, and they are thin and soft, which are very suitable for making chicken coops.

Lu Xingchen spread weeds in the wooden box, and spread the surrounding area to make it look like a nest.

Next, she drilled holes around the sides of the box for ventilation.

In this way, if the wooden box is covered, it must be much warmer than before, but the temperature is still not enough.

How to make it warmer? Lu Xingchen had a problem. Charcoal, braziers, etc., were not suitable for putting inside, even if they were outside, they couldn't get too close, otherwise the wooden box would have to be baked.

How to do it?

Looking at the pure water flowing down from the seawater filter, Lu Xingchen had an idea.

By the way, it can be like this.

Lu Xingchen first boiled water, poured warm water into small mineral water bottles, and then spread it on the dry grass at the bottom of the box, then spread a layer of plastic sheeting on top, and then spread another layer of dry grass on top.

In this way, it can keep warm for a long time, and it can keep the temperature not too high.

After making a simple brooding box, Lu Xingchen moved the box into the Taoyuan Holy Land.

She didn't plan to take these chicks out, lest she couldn't bring them back.

Moreover, the temperature in Taoyuan is more stable.

Putting the brooder box in place, Lu Xingchen caught the chicks in one by one and covered the box.

As you can see through the holes in the box, the chicks are becoming more active and obviously happy with the temperature.

Chicks don't need to eat when they are just born, but they have to drink some water. So, you have to make a waterer and feeder inside the brooder.

Lu Xingchen thought for a while, went to get thicker bamboo, made four shallow plates, and tried to fix them in the box, just two plates on the left and two plates on the right.

The height is set just right for the chicks to reach.

She added a little water to the two saucers on the left, and waited for the chicks to drink, but who knew, who knew, the chicks just chirped and didn't drink at all.

No, no, no!

Lu Xingchen was worried. Before, all the chicks she saw were carried by the hen, and the hen would teach them to drink water. They were just born and didn't know how to drink water yet!

what to do?

Still have to find them a mother chicken? But isn't a chicken farm also a chicken without a mother?

Forget it, find a try!

Lu Xingchen left Taoyuan, went to the chicken coop to catch a hen, and tried to bring it into Taoyuan.

[Ding, the development of the Taoyuan Holy Land is not enough, you can't enter the living things! 】

The system prompts.

Sure enough, no living things could be brought in.

Lu Xingchen didn't have much hope before, and he won't be too disappointed now, but the prompt just now has a lot of mystery.

Not developed enough?

If the degree of development is enough, is it all right?

Lu Xingchen decided that in the future, he will definitely expand the raft and develop Taoyuan.

The hen couldn't bring it in, so Lu Xingchen had no choice but to continue into the Taoyuan, squatting there to watch a group of chicks.

Finally, she caught a chick, dipped its mouth in water, dipped it again, and so on, and after a while, the chick learned to drink.

As long as one can drink water, the chicks will learn from each other.

Lu Xingchen watched the chickens go to drink water, and felt worried again, what are the chickens eating!

According to previous experience, newborn chicks can eat cooked millet or chick feed, and she plans to collect it.

Just as Lu Xingchen had this idea, he suddenly raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was exactly nine o'clock, and it was time to settle the points!

At nine o'clock, the chat light curtain was forced to open, and a game announcement was displayed on it:

[Point settlement starts now! 】
