life cycle of animals

Now we will discus the life cycle of animals(chicken).
Life cycles with three stages
Some animals, such as chicken, cockroaches and frogs, have three stages in their life cycles.
The three stages are the egg, the young, the adult. The young of some of these animals look different from the adults.
THE LIFE CYCLE OF A CHICKEN
Egg:-
During the egg stage, the chicken develops inside the egg. The eggshell protects the developing chick. The egg yolk provide the developing chick with food.

Young:-
The chicken hatches after about three weeks.
The chick looks like its parent.
The chick grows to become a chicken.
                           

Adult:-
A hen( adult female chicken) usually lays one egg each day.

 

Fact about chicken is that newborn chicks have a hard lump on their beaks, called an egg tooth. The chick uses its tooth to break the shell of its egg. The egg tooth usually falls off within a day after the chicken hatches.
