What do you say about the baby born when the chicken returns to the nest?

Chickens returning to their nests to have children originated from a traditional concept in rural areas, which holds that chickens return to their original nests at a specific time to hatch chicks. This phenomenon is considered as an auspicious sign. This statement is widely circulated among the people, but in fact it has no scientific basis.

From the biological point of view, the reproductive behavior of chicken is controlled by its biological clock and hormone level. In spring, with the extension of light time and the increase of temperature, the reproductive hormone level of chickens gradually increases, which promotes chickens to mate and lay eggs. In this process, chickens will choose a safe and warm place to nest and hatch their eggs. This process is not directly related to whether the chicken returns to its original nest.

Besides, chickens have poor memory, so it is difficult for them to remember where they used to nest. Therefore, even if chickens have built nests and hatched chicks in a certain place, it is unlikely that they will build nests again in the same place. In some cases, chickens may choose to go back to their original nests to hatch their chicks, but this is mainly due to other reasons, such as environmental conditions and food sources.

In short, there is no scientific basis for the saying that chickens return to their nests to have children. It's just a traditional concept circulated among the people. In modern society, we should treat such problems with a scientific attitude, abandon superstitious thoughts and pay attention to health and education in real life. At the same time, we should also respect traditional culture, understand its historical and cultural connotation, and make it a part of our national culture.
