Chapter 173: Chicken Kid_1
By noon, most of the chicks were exchanged by people for eggs.
Old Lady Tang exchanged ten, Wen Shu's Nanny also got ten, the Zhou Family and Yanru each received fifteen, and the other villagers successively exchanged more than forty, leaving only a dozen chicks at home now.
These dozen or so chicks are being raised by a hen, foraging in the yard.
The other two hens were miserable, unwilling to abandon the late-hatching eggs, their chicks were stolen one by one by their mistress, leaving only a few weak chicks that had just hatched with their feathers still wet.
Chunniang wanted to take these chicks too, let one hen raise them and allow the other two hens to recover more quickly and start laying eggs sooner.
However, one Reed Chicken was particularly stubborn. Once her chicks were taken away by the mistress, she would chase after them frantically, snatch one or two back from the hen who was raising the chicks, then take the two chicks somewhere else to forage.
