On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Shen Yunfang stayed in the warm shed in the backyard all day. When the quail chicks hatched, she immediately rescued them from under the broody hen's buttocks and put them in a wooden box, watching over them closely for the next few days, knowing that newborn life is very fragile.
In total, more than ten quail eggs were incubated, and in the end, nine hatched—four females and five males.
Once the new month began, the entire Gaijiatun village was bustling, and Shen Yunfang was no exception; she became busy, handling one thing after another.
The quails were now able to run around, and seeing no issues, she put them together with the chickens and ducks in the warm shed to raise them.
Right at this time, the hen's thirty eggs also started to hatch one after another.
