As April began, the weather warmed up, and the earth became tinged with green.
Shen Yunfang's family, in the west room with the kang bed, welcomed the breeding spring for their earthworms.
After a month of breeding, the original three wooden boxes had turned into four, and the box that initially contained the larger earthworms was now teeming with tens of thousands of them.
There were plenty to look at, but to feed a flock of chickens, it still wasn't enough; however, it was sufficient to feed the four big chickens first.
Using earthworms as chicken feed wasn't something to be done carelessly, as earthworms themselves can carry parasites, and if not handled properly, they could make the chickens sick. Therefore, feeding chickens with earthworms required thoroughly cleaning them and sterilizing at high temperatures.
It sounded rather sophisticated, but in practice, it was quite simple.
