There are about 2,400 brown horse chickens in the Xiaowutai Mountain National Nature Reserve in Hebei.

　　Huang Lei, director of Shanjiankou Management District of Xiaowutai Mountain National Nature Reserve in Hebei Province: Because of his aggressive nature, ancient military commanders used the tail feathers of brown horse chickens for their top-dressed flower lings.
