Chapter 506: Make a Chicken Coop

Xia Ju, who was busy eating, also heard the commotion on Du Yue’s side. She looked up and asked, “Why did you bring out so many wooden planks?”

“I’m going to make a chicken coop.”

“What’s a chicken coop?”

“It’s a nest for the chicks to rest in.”

“But we don’t have chicks.”

“We should have some in a while. He Xing went out to buy them.”

Xia Ju put down the chopsticks in her hand in shock. “You plan to raise chickens?”

Although Xia Ju had seen people raise chickens in TV shows, she had never thought that she would one day live in the same yard as a chicken.

Du Yue put down the wooden plank in her hand and looked at her. “Yeah. Are you afraid of chickens? Or do you feel disgusted?”

Xia Ju shook her head. “I’m not afraid, and I’m not disgusted. I just don’t understand. Why do you suddenly want to raise chickens?”

“You and He Xing are both working hard. I can’t just sit at home and wait for death every day! If I raise these chickens well, we won’t have to go out and buy eggs or chicken in the future. Isn’t that good?”

Xia Ju fantasized about the situation Du Yue was talking about and felt that what she said made sense. She immediately quickened her eating pace. “Then I’ll quickly finish eating. I’ll help you make the chicken coop later.”

While Xia Ju was eating, Du Yue found a few tutorials on building a chicken coop on the tablet and watched them carefully. From watching the videos, it was not difficult to make a chicken coop. She just did not know if she would still find it easy after personally doing it.

Du Yue was not sure how many chicks He Xing could get, but to save trouble, Du Yue planned to make the chicken coop a considerable size. She would build a small wooden house and a more s.p.a.cious yard. The house did not have to be too high, or the chicken might get cold. The fence around the yard had to be higher, or the chickens would sneak out at any moment.

Although Du Yue was prepared to raise chickens, she did not want to see the yard full of chicken droppings. Du Yue and Xia Ju were strong enough, and their learning ability was also very strong. They also had enough tools. When the two of them really got to work, their speed was still very fast. After the small wooden house was completed, Xia Ju patted the dust off her hands in satisfaction. “Do you want to make a door for them?”

Du Yue was speechless. “Do you think a chicken will open and close the door?”

As long as they made a small hole in the house, they would not catch a cold.

The roof of the wooden house could be moved. When Du Yue wanted to clean it, she could just lift the roof up. It was very convenient. After the wooden house was completed, they moved on to the fence, which was not difficult. They only needed to use the remaining wooden planks to piece together and build a fence. The fence was about 1.5 meters tall, ensuring that the chickens could not cross it. Thinking that the smell of chicken manure would be very strong, Du Yue and Xia Ju moved the chicken coop to the side of the courtyard. That was the farthest place from their rooms.

Du Yue stood beside the chicken coop and looked around. She felt that she could build a small area here to grow mushrooms.

The chicken coop was small, so the two of them could do it themselves. However, they needed something bigger for the mushrooms. It was not something that the two of them could build casually.

Du Yue was not in a hurry. She planned to ask Zuo Mingdong to help her find people to build it. It did not have to be too exquisite. It would be best if they could use movable boards. If there were no movable boards, they could use wooden boards. Anyway, Du Yue did not have high requirements. Du Yue and Xia Ju were about to walk into the house when they heard the sound of a bike outside.

Then, they heard He Xing calling for the door. Du Yue quickly walked to the door and opened it. She smiled at He Xing, who was at the door. “Why are you back so soon?”

He Xing pushed the bike into the house. “How did you get here so quickly? Were you in the yard?”

Du Yueyue smiled. “I made a chicken coop with Xia Ju. We just finished it. “He Xing smiled. He was not surprised.

Du Yue had always been a person who would do whatever she said. Fortunately, he did not disappoint Du Yue. He Xing said as he placed the cardboard box on the ground, “A total of five chicks, two males and three females.”

There was the sound of chicks chirping inside. Du Yue and Xia Ju bent down and looked into the box. The five chicks were not much bigger than eggs. They had bright yellow feathers and looked soft and cute. Du Yue had seen many people dying in the apocalypse. Suddenly seeing such delicate and lively little things, she could not help but smile..
