Raising chickens is a traditional project to get rich, and raising stupid chickens (local chickens) that are popular in the market is more profitable. There was a farmer named Fu Yinhu in Ji County, Shanxi Province, who made a fortune.

The village he lives in is located in a mountainous area. The village is surrounded by mountains and slopes, which are covered with woods and weeds. The environment is quiet and it is a good place for raising stupid chickens. Last spring, with the help of technicians from the County Animal Husbandry Bureau, Fu Yinhu used the geothermal incubation method to hatch 3,000 chickens. Except for 1,500 roosters, he raised the remaining 1,500 chicks for two months and transported them to the mountain. Free-range, these chicks scatter in the mountains and forests during the day, looking for bugs to eat, grow faster, and start laying eggs after 4 months. These stupid eggs are rare in the local area, and the price is twice that of caged eggs. One stupid egg can be purchased for 0.8 yuan. Because he is the only local family that raises stupid chickens on a large scale. Eggs are in short supply in the market. Each chicken produces 80 eggs a year, with an output value of 64 yuan. Adding the value of the chicken itself, the net profit of a chicken reaches 50 yuan a year. After two years of trying, Fu Yinhu mastered the mountain chicken breeding technology and reaped the benefits. He earned 160,000 yuan in two years. Currently, he is preparing to enter local supermarkets and build his own brand. In view of the promising market conditions, he plans to expand the breeding scale to add another 2,000 chickens. Under his leadership, surrounding farmers have also started to breed stupid chickens. The number of stupid chickens raised in his village has reached tens of thousands, and it has gradually developed into a large industry with an annual output value of 1 million yuan.
