养鸡手记一:小鸡回家了!

by  

小时候养过鸡,有过有趣而快乐的体验,所以每每听朋友聊起各自养鸡的趣事,自己也总会兴趣盎然凑个热闹。咱家LD喜欢务农,对饲养家禽早就有心,神往已久,只因为住在北美小城对饲养家禽也有很多规定,又有动物保护法一类的条款,所以多年来也怕麻烦,一直只是嘴上说说,没有真的动作起来。

今年4月初,同住一个社区的朋友来访,可巧聊起养鸡的话题,才知道他家就养着鸡,而且已经安全过冬了。LD一听,喜出望外,马上打听从哪里可以买到小鸡等等细节。我以为他只是好奇问问而已,谁知第二天下班回家,只见8只小鸡被带回家来了。

听见LD神神秘秘在车库叫我,我好奇出去一看,只见车内后座上有一个小巧漂亮的盒子。小鸡清晰的叫声就是从那里传出来的。我吃了一惊,心里叫苦不迭。原以为只是说着玩的事,谁知道会有人这么迅捷,这么认真。

小鸡回家了,只能先安顿住下。翻腾了一阵儿,找到一个旧的电视大箱子,把这群小家伙全安顿了进去,倒还宽敞。接下来,查阅了社区有关养鸡的一些具体规定,知道小鸡们必须在室内住满4个星期才能移到室外。于是看着小鸡们日益见长,电视大箱子显小了,又在洗衣房为它们搭建了临时简易小屋。

多了这群小家伙,下班回来,只听家里唧唧喳喳总是热热闹闹的。LD热情高涨,亲自设计了鸡舍蓝图,买木料,找配件,天天下班就钻进车库下料、开锯、敲打比划个不停,要争取在小鸡们满4个星期时,移居进户外新居。

哈哈,小鸡们回家了!我们的日子更热闹更忙碌了。

好可爱的小家伙们,我小时候也养过鸡,那时候没有玩具和宠物,那群鸡就是我儿时的玩伴。

我们的童年自由自在,就像那时养家禽一样:放养。不像现在什么都得圈起来,天性发展大受限制。
