Black-bone chicken is so expensive, why are few people raising it in rural areas? Four reasons

Black-bone chicken meat is delicious and its nutrition is much higher than that of ordinary chicken. The market price is as high as 60 yuan per catty, and a black-bone chicken costs 200 yuan money. At such a high price, it should be very profitable to breed black-bone chickens, but why are there few people breeding them in rural areas? You may not believe it, but don't think that it, like other domestic chickens, can sell for two or three months to make money by feeding some food and drinking some water, while breeding black-bone chickens may make you lose everything.

In 2008, farming projects in rural areas were very popular at that time. Many villagers keep poultry at home, such as laying hens, broilers, meat rabbits and quails. When my father saw that other people's families were engaged in farming, he couldn't help but sink in freely. Once, when he was wandering in the street, he saw a vendor selling black-bone chicken and asked the price. A black-bone chicken 220 yuan, boy, this price has excited my father for a long time, and a black-bone chicken 220 yuan. 10 silky fowl is 2200 yuan, and 1000 silky fowl is 220,000 yuan. How can I earn 70 thousand or 80 thousand a year? This is much better than farming and working. When I came back, I began to raise black-bone chickens to make a fortune.

After I came back, I cleaned the room and bought wires, steel pipes, vegetable pots and so on. From the market. After a week of preparation, the chicken house was built, and then I asked someone to consult and bought a small black-bone chicken seedling. With the help of acquaintances, a small black-bone chicken seedling 1 1 yuan, my father bought it at once 1000. At that time, all the houses in our city were 600 yuan Qianping (really? I don't know if I'm hungry, but I'm afraid I'll be scared, so I put them in the net bed for the time being, for fear that they will be cold. There are several 20W incandescent lamps on it, but these black-bone chickens are inevitably weak, and they are still crushed to death in the process of holding a group to keep warm at night. Father always gets up several times in the middle of the night to evacuate black-bone chickens.

Raising black-bone chicken seedlings is even more troublesome. Eight ripe millet and tiny corn kernels must be fed. Thanks to the bumper harvest of two acres of corn at home last year, all the chickens were sent to the farm, and occasionally some green leaves and dandelions were fed. Under the care of his father, chickens are the same every day. One day, they suddenly found that the feces of black-bone chicken were white, and the chicken was listless and didn't like to eat. Father quickly invited the local veterinarian, who said it was a cold. It is suggested that besides cleaning the henhouse, the utensils for eating pots should be cleaned every day. In addition, 0.2% potassium permanganate should be used in daily drinking, and garlic Jiang Shui should be fed more, which can alleviate similar diseases. After conditioning, the chickens recovered their health and spent more energy on management, but my father thought it would be good to let them eat in the backyard for a while.

When the chicks can be released into the backyard, about 100 chicks die, but the remaining 900 chicks can still be sold for180,000 yuan according to a 200 yuan. I'm still happy to think about it. The released black-bone chicken searched for grass seeds and insects under the stones in the backyard all day, and its fur was shiny and energetic. Father no longer has to clean the henhouse all day, and he finally feels that he has survived. It rains continuously in autumn, and the free-range black-bone chicken has symptoms such as cold, diarrhea, running back and forth, screaming and so on. Father quickly fed them with mixed water of penicillin, chlortetracycline, tetracycline and oxytetracycline. When they finally recovered, all 50 black-bone chickens died, and my father squatted behind the house and smoked.

Eyes watching, the Mid-Autumn National Day is coming, and the black-bone chicken at home has grown to about 2 kg. We should be able to sell it at a good price during the festival. My father calculated that a black-bone chicken should be at least about 80 yuan. Now this market, at least for 220 yuan, is convenient for working in the fields and buying and selling in the streets. The more I think about it, the happier I am. On the eve of the festival, my father caught ten black-bone chickens and went to the market to test the water.

Father came back a little depressed and went to the restaurant in town. The owner of the restaurant said that the black-bone chicken is really nutritious, but the meat color is not good, and customers are not used to it. Few people order black-bone chicken and finally drink black-bone chicken soup, but the demand is very low. Otherwise, they left five chickens and needed to make a phone call later, but one got 150 yuan. As far as my father is concerned, he sold at least five chickens. The owner of the supermarket said that he didn't accept black-bone chickens, but only broilers. No matter what his father said, it was useless. When my father came back to see more than 900 chickens raised at home, his sad hair turned white, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened and the tobacco smoked more fiercely. The unsold black-bone chicken is a big expense every day, and he will start farming again. Fertilizer and seeds need money.

After my father came back, he never had the heroism of raising black-bone chickens in the past. He is thinking about how to sell it every day, even if it's from 80 yuan, as long as it doesn't lose money. At that time, a new machinery factory was built in the village head, and many villagers in the village were recruited. There is a canteen inside. Father came to the factory to negotiate with the canteen master. The canteen master said that he could ask for hundreds of them, but only 60 yuan each. My father had no choice. He gritted his teeth and sold it for 900. Father gave several of our neighbors, saying that we should try them together and save the rest for laying eggs. However, the laying rate of black-bone chicken is very low, and it takes four or five days to lay one. My father said that we would stop raising it and kill it ourselves. Since then, we have never talked about raising black-bone chickens.

So the price of black-bone chicken is so expensive, and the reason why few people raise it in rural areas is mainly summarized by me:

1, Black-bone chicken is difficult to breed. Black-bone chicken is not as simple as ordinary domestic chicken breeding, and it is particularly sensitive to temperature and unsatisfied. If you don't control it, you can support yourself to death, especially the management of chicken seedlings is cumbersome, a little careless and serious casualties;

2. Black-bone chicken is not popular with the public. Although the black-bone chicken is rich in nutrition, if it is not cooked well, it will smell fishy and its color is black, giving people a bad impression of traditional white inside and red inside. Can only be used as an ornament, not for public consumption.

3, black-bone chicken breeding needs certain skills, it is not just a grinding thing, which link has a problem, black-bone chicken may be miserable, especially all kinds of diseases must be prevented in advance, otherwise it is likely to fall short;

4. The sales prospect of black-bone chicken is not broad. Black-bone chickens are bred in large quantities, and they are not recycled in advance, so it is difficult to sell them later. In the end, they all make money at a loss, and draw water with a sieve.

In short, black-bone chicken is so expensive that few people breed it in rural areas.
