Raising Chickens
When I was a child, people in my village started raising chickens in spring.
In my area, there were a few chicken hatcheries every spring. When the baby chickens grew up to marketable age, they sold the chickens to nearby families on credit.
When people bought the baby chickens, they fed the chickens with grains and their leftover meals.
They didn't have a special place for raising the chickens; instead, their chickens could run anywhere in the village. Thus, chickens in the village needed to be dyed with different colors on different parts of the chickens' bodies to tell whose chickens they were.
Usually, each family would have a chicken coop, but when the chickens grew up, they liked to fly to trees at night and sleep there.
Raising chickens was not easy. People needed to vaccinate the chickens several times when they were young. In addition, people needed to pay much attention to preventing yellow weasels, which were natural enemies of chickens.
If the chickens unfortunately got fowl plague, they would die very quickly. The symptoms of fowl plague were a runny nose, fever, and lethargy.
Chickens could be eaten around October. By then they weighed about 0.5 kilograms. It was the time when their meat was tender and fragrant.
We only ate chickens when our relatives visited us because of poor living conditions. We never ate a chicken by ourselves.
