"Ducks lay eggs and fly across the river, and hens lay eggs on small weights." is a metaphorical and educational saying in our rural areas. It shows that ducks have strong digestive abilities and can eat sand and gravel from outside. , shells, and bath foods are easy to digest, and duck eggs are laid at night. Although hens eat a lot, due to slow digestion, they have to wait until noon the next day to lay eggs, which is much longer than the egg laying time of ducks. For a long time, it means that after the ducks lay eggs, they will be relieved and prosperous, but after the hens lay eggs, they will be like a small weight and cannot fly, right?

"Ducks lay eggs and fly across the river, and hens lay eggs on small weights." There is another metaphor in the hometown of Qixing Farmers in the countryside. It means that they are also born, raised and taught by their parents. The backs of the hands and the palms of the children are full of flesh, and they are treated equally. Some children are as diligent and studious as ducks since they were young. When they grow up, they are more promising and become successful. However, there are also some children who have been arrogant since childhood. , uneducated and unskilled, when they grow up, they only know how to hang around their parents at home like a hen, and when they become hens, they lay eggs and gnaw on the elderly like weights. There is really a huge gap between the two! "Ducks lay eggs and fly across the river, and hens lay eggs on small weights."

Chickens and ducks are one of the poultry in rural farmers' homes. They go out to look for food and lay eggs during the day to increase farmers' income. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with that. of.

But from the perspective of the value of chickens and ducks looking for food and laying eggs, ducks are more diligent than chickens. They work tirelessly in the rice fields, ponds, and rivers during the day, and are not afraid of cold, heat, wind, rain, or the ground. Go looking for wild food to eat, and the egg production rate is high when you come back at night. It is rare that the cage is not laid, and the cage is mostly rested for a few days during the molting in spring. There has never been a duck nesting like a hen. It’s a phenomenon, right?

The hens are different. They often eat the ready-made feed provided by the owner during the day to keep their bellies full, and they have to wait until the owner feeds them again the next morning. After that, eggs can be laid only in the morning. The hen's belly is still full after laying eggs, and the food bag is still as heavy as a small weight. An egg laid in a day is simply swollen with feed. It is the master's responsibility. We buy eggs in exchange for feed money, right? And after the hens lay the eggs, they have a big belly and even walk slowly. You don’t want them to spread their wings and fly across the river, right? .

So, Qixing Old Farmer personally believes that his mother’s saying, “Ducks lay eggs and fly across the river, and hens lay eggs on small weights” is a metaphorical and educational proverb in our rural areas, which means chickens. Although ducks are all poultry, they can produce eggs to increase income for farmers. In comparison, ducks are more diligent than chickens. They go out to look for food tirelessly during the day and come back at night to increase their egg production rate and lay eggs. Afterwards, the body feels relieved and can spread its wings and fly across the river in the morning to find food again; but hens are different when it comes to laying eggs. They can only lay eggs by eating the ready-made feed fed to them by their owners, and the eggs they lay are purely It is swollen with grain or feed. After laying eggs, the stomach is still full, and the body will be as heavy as a small weight, not to mention that it can spread its wings and fly across the river, right?
