Chicken Life Cycle Explained

A hen lays eggs in a nest and keeps them warm for 21 days as an embryo develops inside. The embryo hatches from the egg as a wet chick covered in down feathers. Within 4 weeks, the chick grows more feathers and develops a comb and wattle as it matures. Chicks resemble their parents from birth and become fully grown chickens after 6 months, when males are called roosters and females are called hens that can lay more eggs.
