Red-capped chickens inhabit rice fields, streams, swamps, grasslands, reed ponds and nearby grass and shrubs in low hills and forest edges. They sometimes appear in forest grasslands and swamps and grasslands on both sides of rivers. They often go out to open grasslands in the morning and evening. When in danger, they will run quickly towards the grass or water. After reaching the water, they will either swim in the water or fly to the other side of the water. Sometimes when threatened, they will lower their heads and tails and run on the ground, or hide in the grass or bushes. Feeds mainly on aquatic insects and other small invertebrates.
