Why do weasels like chicken? As the title suggests, thank you

Weasel, scientific name Weasel, belongs to the family Mammalian Weasel and is a common small carnivore in various parts of China. The trade name of the weasel skin is yellow wolf skin, the economic value is high, it is the high-grade raw material for making fur and pen, and it is a traditional export commodity in China, ranking first in the world in terms of output and quality. Several professors from the Department of Biology of East China Normal University spent more than 20 years doing some investigation and research, and successively dissected 5,000 weasels, and found that only two weasels ate chickens.

They also did an experiment: on the first day, three live chickens and a section of fish were put in the cage where the weasel was kept, and the weasel ate the hairtail instead of the chicken. The next day, chickens, pigeons, and rats were put in, and as a result, the weasels ate the mice.

It wasn't until the fifth day, when the weasel had nothing to eat with only live chickens, that he fed his hunger with chickens. The professors further learned that weasels were originally "experts" at exterminating rats, and that a weasel could eat at least three or four hundred rats and devour a large number of pests. Through long-term experiments, they not only washed away the weasel's reputation for stealing chickens, but also gradually gained a deeper understanding of the weasel's habits and many benefits to humans.

Because of chicken, duck and fish, chicken steak is the first and most delicious. Hehe, I'm so good, let's get some points.

The teacher in Chinese class said: In fact, weasels do not eat chickens, which is what scientists have found through experiments.

Weasels are afraid to eat chickens for the following reasons:

1.Self-defense: Chickens are social animals, and weasels usually do not actively attack animals that are larger than their own size. Flocks of chickens often gather in large flocks and act collectively against predators, which makes weasels feel threatened and afraid to attack the ambush cavity.

2.Chicken resistance: Chickens have sharp claws, and they can quickly fight back with their claws. Chickens also use their wings to attack and escape. These defense mechanisms allow the chickens to defend themselves against the weasels and thus avoid fighting the chickens.

3.Difficult to catch: Chickens are usually active in open areas, and weasels have predatory habits that are suitable for catching prey in hidden places such as meadows or bushes. As a result, it is difficult for weasels to approach and catch chickens.

It should be noted that although weasels do not dare to eat chickens, in special environments and conditions, such as a small number of chickens, insufficient weasel food**, etc., weasels may take risks to prey on chickens.

Maybe some people are confused after seeing the word goose raising. What does this have to do with geese? Yes, if there are a few geese in the flock, it would help to stop the weasel.

Geese will scream and scream when they see a weasel, driving away the weasel, so it is useful to have a few geese in a flock. Some people say that turtles are natural predators of weasels. Weasels can climb walls, but dogs may not be able to catch them, but will be afraid that weasels will see dogs, so turtles can keep dogs, but they must be tied up.

Otherwise, weasels don't eat it, but it's a bit uneconomical to eat chicken, but dogs don't eat chicken.

There are generally tools on the market to catch weasels. For example, if you buy a mouse trap inside and outside the chicken coop and put it in **, if the weasel steals the chicken, you must not step on the pliers to move, you can't move, and the pliers have no lethal power, but they can scare the weasels away. Rote memorization such as pliers and rat stickers can be used.

Do this a few times and the weasel won't come again.

Mix fresh pig blood with poison and walk around the village. Weasels eat chickens and actually have rats attracted, so catching mice first will also lead to fewer weasels. In the past, weasels were rampant in the countryside.

However, with the change of the ecological environment, the number of weasels is getting smaller and smaller, and after 2000, the number of weasels has finally recovered after officially joining the national three-milk protected animals. With the strengthening of protection, in the past two years, with the improvement of environmental protection, the rural environment is gradually recovering, and there are more and more small animals that have not been seen for a long time, so the ecological environment in some places is better, and the number of weasels has been on the rise in the past two years. The phenomenon of weasels stealing chickens has also emerged.

Because weasels belong to the three protected animals of the state, and random killings are subject to responsibility and punishment, so the headache of farmers who steal chickens from weasels will be more serious. If you can't beat it, you can't catch it, how can you stop the weasel from eating chickens? Old farmer:

When I was raising chickens on the farm, I saw a weasel whirling around.

It is believed that people born in the countryside have experienced the ferocity of the big white goose. Geese are territorial, and will show no mercy to trespassers and animals. The most terrifying thing is that the goose is famous for its blindness, seeing objects shrink, there is no bigger creature in the world, so geese are not afraid of people, weasels are not afraid, and will have a strong active aggression.

Rural Jean Gao also has a saying that weasels are afraid of goose droppings. The ferret is especially afraid of geese because it thinks that if the weasel's paws step on goose poop, the soles of the feet will rot. In fact, this is a rumor, and there is no scientific basis at all.

In addition to the combat effectiveness of geese and geese, weasels are also afraid of this taste. It also has to do with its character. The weasel is particularly timid and can only attack animals smaller than it.

Weasels eat chickens.

Domestic chickens are not only food for humans, but also an important food for weasels (weasels) that live around the chicken coop. There are always one or two of the fat and juicy chickens in the flock, which are relatively weak, and they have almost lost the skills necessary to survive in the wild under the protection of humans. Therefore, if there are no people, dogs or geese in time, it is almost inevitable that one or two of the chickens will be killed or injured.

Due to the loss of habitat due to human hunting, the weasel has been listed as a vulnerable species by the National Union for Conservation of Nature due to the continuous change of habitat environment and the decreasing suitable habitat environment.

<> weasel breaks the neck of a chicken with its sharp teeth, first sucking its blood, then eating its internal organs and body. Weasel eats a very mixed diet, eating rats and hares in the wild, but also eating bird eggs and chicks, fish, frogs and insects, and often sneaking up on chickens and other poultry at night.

Tips: Weasels are wild protected animals, and the protection of wild animals starts from themselves, refuses to buy and sell wild animal products, and does not interfere with the free life of wild animals. At present, the consumption of rare and endangered wild animals in society is not only a bad social habit, but also one of the reasons for the repeated prohibition of illegal hunting and killing of rare and endangered wild animals.

If there is no trade, there is no killing, and the consumption of wild animals is not eliminated, they do not belong on the table.
