Chickens are the most common bird on earth There are about 60 different
breeds Chickens like to live in a group and the groups are called flocks
Each flock has some chicks some hens and a rooster Chickens make over
30 chicken soundsChickens eat worms insects seeds grains fruits vegetables and lots
more Chickens donrsquot have teeth they swallow their food whole into a
part of their stomach called the gizzard that has tiny stones in it which
help to grind up their food
Page 1 of 2
Chicken Life Cycle
What happens during the first stage of the chicken life cycleEgg
The hen lays an egg - they can do this without cockerels The
unfertilized eggs are what humans bake cakes and other foods
with and eat cooked as boiled fried poached or scrambled eggs
Only if the egg is fertilized by a cockerel can it become a chick
Chickens lay more eggs when itrsquos warmer Chicken eggs can be
brown white blue bluish green and pink The hen incubates the
eggs by sitting on them to keep them warm
1
What happens during the second stage of the chicken life cycleChick
Baby chickens are called chicks The chick starts its life
by hatching from an egg when it is ready It pecks a hole
in the shell with a bump on its beak called an egg tooth
When the chicks first hatch they are covered with tiny
soft fluffy feathers called down but they are wet at first
Down feathers keep them warm
2
What happens during the third stage of the chicken life cycleHen or CockerelThe chick grows up and changes over time into a chicken Chickens
can live betweeen 10 and 15 years and are raised for their meat
and eggs Female chickens are called hens and male chickens are
called cockerels Cockerels are bigger and more colourful than
the hens They do a little dance to impress the hens Cockerels
protect the hens and the hens protect their chicksHens are ready to lay their first eggs when they are around
6 months old When the hen lays and incubates an egg the
chicken life cycle starts all over again Hens can lay around 300
eggs every year
