Rooster's nest is also very simple, often built on the ground next to big tree roots, or under protruding stones. First, it digs a shallow hole in the ground with its feet, tamps it, and spreads a layer of dead leaves inside, even if the nest is built. The leaves used for nesting are all taken from the deciduous layer on the surrounding surface. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell the position of the nest. After the nest is built, the female will lay 4-8 eggs in the nest, sometimes 1 1- 12 eggs. The shape and color of eggs are similar to those of domestic eggs, and they are light brown. The surface of eggshell is smooth and delicate, but small. These eggs will hatch for about 20 days before the chicks hatch.

Chickens can find their own food soon after hatching and can fly up the tree in a week or so. Still, they can't live without their mother. When the hen finds something delicious, she will "giggle" and call the chicken to eat. In case of danger, the chicken will immediately hide under the hen's wings. Young animals seem to know that their mothers are the safest, and they will always face all dangers bravely. At this time, the rooster often moves with them to help them find food, but when frightened, the rooster often runs away first, which is very unmanly.
