However, domestic chickens are often led by their mothers to find food. Whenever the mother chicken finds food, the chicks gather immediately to eat.

Since ancient times, in the fairy tale 'Sọ Dừa,' the crowing has brought reunion to Sọ Dừa and cô Út. And Xuân Quỳnh's 'Tiếng gà trưa' is a very good poem about the sound of 'rooster crowing': 'On the long march - Stop by the small village - The sound of the rooster crowing - Lump by lump, crafting our destiny - Hearing the hustle and bustle of the noon sun - Hearing the footsteps relieve fatigue'
