Sell Baby Chickens on Credit

When I was a child, people in my village sold baby chickens on credit to make money, which was their only source of income.

In spring, they started hatching baby chickens. They bought eggs from farmers first, then checked the eggs to pick out unfertilized ones.

The doors of a hatch house had two small holes. When checking the eggs, they stayed inside the house, closed the doors, and placed the eggs against the holes to see inside them.

However, I was too young to understand the secret of identifying unfertilized eggs. I never asked them about it, though.

They placed the fertilized eggs in a bed and covered them with a blanket. Then they heated the house to maintain a temperature suitable for the eggs to hatch. After the eggs hatched and the chicks grew to a certain stage, they started selling the baby chickens.

They carried two baskets on either side of their bike’s rear seat. They placed the baby chickens in the baskets and rode to surrounding villages to sell them.

They sold the baby chickens on credit. They recorded information in their notebooks, such as the buyer’s name, village, and the number of chickens purchased.

In autumn, after people harvested their crops, they took their notebooks to the surrounding villages to collect money for the baby chickens sold on credit.

I don’t know how much money they earned each year; however, it was their only means of making money. Even if the earnings were modest, I think they were still vital for families in those tough living conditions. Unfortunately, some dishonest buyers wouldn’t pay or would only pay partially.
