Lin Xiaoguai's method was not complicated—one chicken coop was for raising chickens, another for breeding insects to feed the chickens.
This was also an old method she had heard of in her previous life, specifically, one chicken coop for raising chickens, piling chicken droppings and pig manure in another coop, buying some centipedes and other insects, coupled with maggots bred from the manure, which made for the best feed for chickens. Eating these, not only was the meat quality akin to that of wild chickens, but they also laid eggs faster.
It took about a week for the insects in one coop to grow large enough, and by that time, she'd drive the chickens from the adjacent coop over, and start breeding insects in the original chicken coop. When the chickens had eaten all the insects in the coop, the new batch of insects was almost ready. In this cycling process, the cost of raising chickens was low but the returns were high.
