Some people say that what is raised in the countryside now is "fake chicken". What do you think of this?

The so-called "fake chicken" means that the growth stage of chicken is divided into two parts. Feed in the first three months (not excluding additives and drugs to prevent diseases, so as to reduce epidemic chicken diseases and ensure survival rate), and then feed food and vegetables when you grow up. Even in order to achieve the appearance characteristics of pure chicken, it will be stocked in the region (similar to assault wild training), which is a kind of existence between pure chicken and feed chicken in rural areas.

It is undeniable that there are many "fake chickens" on the market now, but we must never deny all rural chickens just because we choke on them, because some "smart people". Ah Xi, I tell you responsibly that there are not a few rural people who raise chickens freely. I often go to the countryside, and the village is full of rural chickens.

Rural people like to raise chickens for three purposes:

1. The eggs laid by chickens raised by oneself are better and fresher. For example, raising a dozen chickens at home can lay six or seven fresh eggs a day, eat them at home, and even keep them for children in the city. The key is to eat with confidence.

There is no shortage of corn and other food in rural areas, and leftovers are not wasted. People in rural areas can live. Raising a few chickens can solve these problems and lay eggs, which farmers think is very cost-effective.

3. The chickens raised at home are more delicious. No comparison, no harm. Since the emergence of carnivorous chicken, it has become more and more nutritious and delicious for rural chickens. Free-range farm cocks in rural areas are more expensive, while old hens are more expensive. Some city people go to the countryside to buy old hens for a few years, saying that they are more nourishing.

It is precisely because of the high price of free-range chickens in rural areas that some people aim at this market and sell "fake chickens" instead of chickens to earn higher value.

Compared with free-range chickens in rural areas, the biggest advantage of "pseudo-chicken" is its short development time (generally, it can preserve the growth for two or three months, eat less food for a few months, and the cost is naturally much lower than that of chickens). Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows that rural people are still young after six months. I remember when I was a child in the countryside, the chickens caught in spring were kept until August 15, and the cockerel was still skinny and didn't have much meat. When feeding it in the New Year, it was only 3 or 4 kilograms, but the meat was very strong and the bones were very hard. When it is stewed in a pot, it can smell the fragrance far away from home.

Ah, Xi's personal opinion, "pseudo-native chicken" is a very conscientious breeding. This kind of chicken is a little wild, and it is free-range, and its body is relatively healthy and strong. Naturally, it is not as good as those carnivorous chickens that have been released for 40 days. If you don't know the difference between rural chicken and "fake chicken", you won't lose much when you buy it home.

Of course, if we can learn more skills to distinguish pure-bred rural chickens, the probability of selecting pure-bred rural chickens will definitely increase greatly. A Xi will also buy local chickens during the Chinese New Year. Generally, he chooses the following three ways: 1. Go directly to his hometown to find familiar villagers to buy. This is 100% true. Just say hello a few months in advance and let me stay for the New Year. Rural people are simple, just agree. But when you go to the countryside to buy, you really need acquaintances, because now the countryside is also rich, and all your chickens are kept at home to eat meat and eggs and rarely taken out.

2. Buy in the rural market. This will test your eyesight. You have to find an old farmer who guards one chicken and two chickens in the market. Obviously, he wants to sell them for something else to celebrate the New Year. Moreover, he saw that the comb had pecking marks and frostbite marks, and the hair on the stomach and neck was a little less (the chickens raised in rural areas were aggressive). He weighs less than 5 kg and has a strong figure. At first glance, his chicken feet are tempered in the wild and strong. In short, at first glance, it is not a chicken enjoying happiness in a greenhouse.

3. Try to avoid those vendors who sell local chicken one by one. I'm not saying that their native chicken must be fake, just not as reliable as those farmers.
