A dirt method, you can't finish picking up eggs
In our daily life, sometimes we face some small troubles, such as the chickens raised at home laying eggs from time to time, while we are too busy with other affairs to collect in time. This is where a simple and traditional "dirt method" comes in handy to help us solve this problem. This method is not only practical, but also makes it easier for us to enjoy raising chickens.
This method is to use common household items such as rice bran or cereals to attract chickens to lay eggs in a fixed area. Here's how:
First of all, we need to prepare an appropriately sized basket or box, which needs to have enough space for the birds to enter and lay their eggs comfortably. Then, spread a layer of clean straw or wood chips on the bottom of the container to keep the eggs clean.
Next, spread the rice bran or grain evenly inside the container. These foods are very attractive to chickens, who will enter the container in search of food. When chickens are foraging in containers, they often choose to lay their eggs in this safe and comfortable environment.
In addition, we can place a small mirror on one side of the container. The chickens are curious about the reflection image in the mirror, which increases their interest in entering the container. Once the chickens get used to laying eggs inside the container, they will continue to lay eggs in this customary place, even without mirrors.
In order for the chickens to develop a consistent laying habit, we need to keep the containers clean and change the straw or wood chips regularly. At the same time, make sure that the position of the container is relatively fixed and does not move too often, so as not to disrupt the habits of the chickens.
Through this method, we can not only save the trouble of constantly searching for eggs, but also be able to ensure the hygiene and safety of eggs. This method is simple and does not require much cost, but it can effectively solve a small problem in raising chickens in the family.
In short, many times in life, we don't need complex technology or expensive equipment to solve problems. Sometimes, a simple method of soil can bring unexpected results. Like this method of using rice bran or grains to entice chickens to lay eggs, it not only demonstrates our use of conventional wisdom, but also demonstrates the joy of finding simple, effective solutions in life.
