Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 578 Incubation Conditions
The uncle of the fat aunt’s family is in charge of the temperature. He starts a fire with straw every morning and evening, so that the kang is always warm, but not too hot. It is kept at 28-31 degrees and cannot exceed 40 degrees.

The most important thing every day is to keep an eye on the temperature. If it is cold, start a fire, and if it is hot, ventilate and cool down quickly.

Aunt Fat worked harder. She had to turn the eggs every 6-8 hours. During the 20 days after the chicks hatched, she couldn't sleep well.

Not only to keep warm, to turn the eggs, but also to monitor the hatching of the chicks from time to time.

The easiest way is to take a photo with a flashlight.

The egg shell is like a thin film under strong light, and the development of the chicks inside can be clearly seen. This is Wang Tianhui's favorite thing to do.

When he had nothing to do, he would run to the fat aunt's house and take a photo with a flashlight to see if the chicken had grown up.

Watching the little life in the eggshell grow bigger and bigger, and its little heart beating vigorously, is particularly interesting.

But there will always be sad things.

The flashlight shone in, and the chick's heart stopped beating.

Aunt Fat would tell Wang Tianhui that the chick might have stopped developing or had died, so it would lose the qualification to continue hatching, and there would be no day for it to hatch again.

There are many factors that stop or die during the hatching process, such as temperature, humidity, bacterial infection, etc. are all possible.

Not every egg has the chance to turn into a chick.

Although this is a sad thing, but also accompanied by a good thing happened.

That is Wang Tianhui can have good luck.

The immature chicken has an alias called live beads, half chicken and half egg, with egg flavor and meat flavor, rich nutrition and excellent taste.

The egg that has grown into a chick but failed to break its shell and died is called a hairy egg. There is almost no part of such a small egg. It is a chick with sparse hair. Because it has not eaten, its intestines It is very clean and has no peculiar smell. It is more fragrant and nutritious than live beads, but it looks a little scary.

Every time she checked the eggs, Aunt Fat could pick out a few live beads or fluffy eggs, and Wang Tianhui, who was visiting her home, would be able to feast on his mouth.

Later, the fat aunt bought an electric blanket, and it became much easier to hatch eggs. Later, the fishing industry in the village developed, and her uncle returned to his old job of fishing.

Aunt Fat is too busy to do it alone, and she doesn't hatch her own eggs anymore, so the family hen hatches a little bit and keeps it for her family to raise.

Afterwards, Wang Tianhui didn't have any live beads or eggs to eat. Thinking about it now, I still have a lot of aftertaste.

Eggs and dinosaur eggs are both eggs, but the individual sizes are different, and the theory is still the same.

To sum up, it is temperature, humidity and ventilation, and then time.

Dinosaurs are cold-blooded animals, while chickens are poultry. Their own temperatures are different. The body temperature of chickens is about 40 degrees, while the body temperature of reptiles cannot be kept at a constant temperature and is generally low. According to Wang Tianhui's knowledge, it is speculated that hatching dinosaur eggs should be similar to hatching turtle eggs The temperature is about the same, no more than 30 degrees.

Chickens are land fowl that hatch their eggs in grass nests, while turtles are amphibians that lay their eggs in moist ground.

The relative humidity is much greater than that of eggs.

It can also be seen from archaeological data that dinosaurs also had this habit. They would lay their eggs in soil nests and then seal them up.

As a result, the relative humidity will be higher.

The humidity for hatching chicks is 56%-60%, while the humidity for hatching tortoise eggs is about 80%.

The point of ventilation is the same, whether it is above ground or underground, if there is no ventilation, the probability of embryo death will be very high.

After some summarization, Wang Tianhui listed several conditions for Da Zhuang.

"First, the temperature should not exceed 30 degrees; second, be in a humid place without water; third, keep ventilation."

Da Zhuang thought for a while, "How much is less than 30 degrees?" He didn't have much idea about temperature, especially the value.

Wang Tianhui touched his hand and said: "When you touch this egg, it's enough to feel that the temperature is about the same as that of your hand. It doesn't matter if it's cold or hot."

Da Zhuang nodded, "Then I understand!"

Just as he picked up the egg and was about to leave, he turned back, "How long will it take to hatch the baby dinosaur?"

Wang Tianhui thought for a while, he never hatched a dinosaur, so who knows?
But chickens take 21 days, but tortoises take 60 days. Dinosaurs can only be more than tortoises and cannot be less than it.

"It's more than sixty days, I don't know, as long as it doesn't break its shell, you can keep hatching, this is for you!"

Wang Tianhui translated another strong flashlight from the storage space and gave it to Da Zhuang.

"I don't need this thing, I can see things at night, just like during the day!" Da Zhuang said confidently.

Wang Tianhui smiled, "I know your night vision is good, but this thing is for you."

"Ah? Take the egg? How to use it?" Da Zhuang didn't know why.

"Come with me." Wang Tianhui took him to a dark place, then pointed to the dinosaur egg and said to him: "Now you turn the light to the strongest light, and take a look at this egg."

Da Zhuang did so, and hit the dinosaur egg with a strong light, and then Da Zhuang let out an exclamation.

Fat Ball was so frightened that it screamed, and when it uttered the second scale, Wang Tianhui covered its mouth, and if it kept shouting like this, it would call Reed and Jack over.

Wang Tianhui still doesn't want everyone to know about the existence of dinosaur eggs.

Da Zhuang looked at an embryo that was about the same size as Xiao Erha curled up inside the egg. Its tail was so long that it almost circled its body. Its head was only a vague outline, and its eyes were just two small black bulges. , it looks very much like the little gecko on Poseidon Island.

A small red heart of the little dinosaur is beating rhythmically, it is a living little life!

Seeing this scene, Da Zhuang, Fat Ball and Little Erha were all stunned.

The magic of life prevented them from uttering a word, and they stared at it as if possessed, just like Wang Tianhui when he was a child and shone a flashlight on the eggs.

"Will it work this time? You can take a look at it if you're okay, to see if it has grown up and is still alive. If it dies, you must tell me." Wang Tianhui instructed Da Zhuang.

When Da Zhuang heard the word "dead", his expression froze slightly, and he assured Wang Tianhui: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I will definitely protect it and not let it die!"

At this moment, Da Zhuang suddenly felt the responsibility of a father.

Although Da Zhuang's mind is not very bright and he is a bit naive, his emotions are the most sincere.

He is one of Wang Tianhui's most trusted people, and he is very relieved to hand over the dinosaur eggs to Da Zhuang.

"I'm going to find a place now, fat ball, come with me!"

Da Zhuang was very anxious, especially after hearing what Wang Tianhui said about the hatching conditions, he was afraid that the little dinosaur would feel cold and dry, or that the little dinosaur would die if there was a mistake, so he hurriedly took the dinosaur eggs to find a suitable place.
