Earthworms can also be used to raise chickens, another good way to make money from farming
If you have a hillside far from residential areas, then go for ecological chicken farming. Ecological chicken farming is already a new rural money-making project in the farming industry with low cost and high returns.
Old Gan from Weihui, Henan, had his heart set on starting a money-making project in the countryside, so he went to learn about free-range chicken farming. After a period of systematic training, Old Gan developed a strong interest in new farming methods. Old Gan lived in a mountainous area with plenty of barren hills far from villages, which was exactly the perfect place for ecological farming. When talking with the teachers, Old Gan shared his ideas. The teachers were very supportive of his ideas and suggested he adapt to local conditions by adopting a new ecological farming model combining chickens, earthworms and vegetables.

Without delay, Old Gan went home and immediately started his business. He planned to go to a nearby cattle farm and buy a large amount of cow dung (earthworms love to eat cow dung), spread it on the fenced hillside, plant mature vegetables on the hillside, then buy a large number of earthworms and release them in the vegetable plot, and frequently turn the soil to help the earthworms grow.
By the time the vegetables grew, the earthworms had also multiplied in large numbers. Old Gan began buying 2.3 free-range chick seedlings to release. Old Gan's new ecological farming model had begun.
Besides feeding the chickens normal feed, the chickens can freely eat the vegetables. Vegetables are rich in vitamins and can effectively supplement the flock's vitamin needs. The most important thing is to feed the chickens earthworms. The earthworms in the vegetable plot cannot be fed directly to the chickens, because earthworms have parasites and bacteria on their body surface and inside their bodies, and eating them may have a certain impact on the chickens' health.
The correct feeding method is to collect enough earthworms from the vegetable plot, wash them clean, put them in boiling water and boil for about 6 minutes, or ferment them with Chunxin bacterial liquid for about 15 hours before feeding, which has both a sterilizing and deworming effect. Note that the treated earthworms should be cut into segments. The average feeding amount per chicken is about 18g. Any leftovers can be sun-dried and ground into powder for mixing into feed. With this feeding method, the flock grows quickly, and egg production can be increased by nearly 8%. The economic benefits improved are very considerable.
Chicken manure is absorbed by the vegetables and earthworms, and the chickens eat the vegetables and earthworms. With this ecological farming model, the flock is not only healthy and fast-growing, but it also saves costs and effectively improves economic benefits.
