15. The residents of the community are basically city people, with a majority being mothers. Most of them have never experienced rural life and are not knowledgeable about how to distinguish between genuine free-range chickens. When they saw that an elderly villager came to sell live chickens at the place where vegetables were sold at the community gate, many of them went over to buy. That elderly aunt is quite skilled at camouflage; I'm not too sure if she is a rural villager, but her attire really resembles that of a villager.

24. 而一些棚养鸡户为了防止土鸡争斗，就用断喙器在鸡10日龄的时候，把鸡嘴切去，而这样就防止进行相互争斗，而丢失羽毛。所以说，当城里人去购买土鸡的时候一定要看一下购买的土鸡嘴是否完整，越是尖嘴的鸡，成为土鸡的可能性就越大，因农户是没有功夫给土鸡切嘴的。

24. Some farmers who raise chickens in sheds use beak-trimming tools to cut the chickens' beaks when they are 10 days old in order to prevent them from fighting and losing feathers. Therefore, when city people go to buy free-range chickens, they should check whether the chickens' beaks are intact. The more pointed the beak, the greater the chance it is a true free-range chicken, as farmers don't have the time to trim the beaks of free-range chickens.

28. In the past, we used to hatch chicks ourselves, from birth to slaughter, we never fed them any feed at all. They grew up eating a mixture of corn flour and food, ground bugs, grass seeds, vegetable leaves, etc., all raised in the open. The chickens were not big, weighing over three pounds each. Both roosters and hens had black feet. If you cooked one, the entire courtyard would be filled with the aroma.

36. 从鸡嘴上分别，农家土鸡经常在野外觅食，鸡的嘴比饲料养大的鸡尖利。你可以到农村去看看鸡在野外觅食时，经常会将嘴接触到地上左磨一下，右磨一下的动作。所以农家土鸡的嘴绝对尖利。

36. Distinguishing from chickens raised with feed, rural chickens often forage in the wild, and their beaks are sharper than those of chickens raised on feed. You can go to the countryside to see that when rural chickens forage in the wild, they often touch the ground with their beaks, moving them left and right. Therefore, the beaks of rural chickens are absolutely sharp.

37. 打开土鸡来看，农家喂养的鸡腹腔里面、大腿上都有一层黄黄的鸡油，越是老母鸡、其鸡油就越多的。而棚养的鸡自然也是没有这层黄的鸡油的。因此来说，由于土鸡肉结实，而且有脂肪等特点，而饲料鸡的肉是很软的，而且又没有脂肪，所以城里人在购买土鸡的时候也要注意一下，发现松垮的鸡，或者白白的鸡肉那就别买了，因为这不是农家的土鸡。

37. When you open up a free-range chicken, you'll find that the chickens raised by farmers have a layer of yellow chicken fat in their abdominal cavity and on their thighs. The older the hen, the more chicken fat it has. The chickens raised in sheds, however, do not have this yellow layer of fat. Therefore, since the meat of free-range chickens is firm and has fat characteristics, while the meat of feedlot chickens is very soft and lacks fat, city dwellers should also pay attention when buying free-range chickens. If you find chickens that are flabby or have white chicken meat, don't buy them, because these are not the free-range chickens raised by farmers.
