There are basically four life stages for a chicken.
1. EGG – Chickens begin as fertilized eggs. Eggs take about 21 days to hatch.
2. CHICK – A chick is a newborn chicken.
3. PULLETS and COCKERELS – A pullet is an immature female chicken. A cockerel is an immature male chicken.
4. HENS and ROOSTERS – A hen is a mature female chicken. A hen is considered mature when she starts to lay eggs (typically 6 to 8 months old). A rooster is a mature male chicken.
