The image shows a diagram of the
life cycle of a chicken, with four stages illustrated and blank boxes for labeling. The task is to correctly identify and write the name of each stage in the life cycle.

🔍 Step-by-step Explanation:
The life cycle of a chicken follows these four main stages:
1.
Egg → The process begins when a hen lays an egg.
2.
Hatchling (or Chick) → After incubation (about 21 days), the egg hatches, and a baby chick emerges.
3.
Chick → The young bird grows and develops into a juvenile chicken.
4.
Adult Chicken (Hen or Rooster) → The fully grown chicken can lay eggs (if it's a hen) and continue the cycle.

🔄 Diagram Analysis:
Let’s go around the cycle using the arrows:
1.
Top left: An oval shape — this is the
egg.
- Label:
Egg
2.
Top right: A chick breaking out of the egg — this is the
hatching stage.
- Label:
Hatchling or
Chick (both acceptable, but "Hatchling" is more precise for the moment of birth)
3.
Bottom right: A small yellow bird — this is a
young chick growing.
- Label:
Chick
4.
Bottom left: A full-grown gray chicken — this is the
adult chicken.
- Label:
Adult Chicken
Then, the cycle continues back to the egg as the adult chicken lays eggs.

✔ Correct Labels for Each Box:
-
Top left (egg):
Egg
-
Top right (hatching chick):
Hatchling
-
Bottom right (young chick):
Chick
-
Bottom left (adult chicken):
Adult Chicken
> Note: Sometimes “Chick” is used for both hatchling and young chicken. However, in educational contexts, it's common to distinguish:
> -
Egg
> -
Hatchling (just after hatching)
> -
Chick (growing young bird)
> -
Adult Chicken
But if only
four stages are expected and simplicity is preferred, some sources list:
1. Egg
2. Chick
3. Adult Chicken
4. (Back to Egg)
However, since there are
four distinct images, the most accurate labels based on visuals are:
---
✔ Final Answer:
Label each box as follows:
-
Top left (egg):
Egg
-
Top right (hatching chick):
Hatchling
-
Bottom right (young chick):
Chick
-
Bottom left (adult chicken):
Adult Chicken

📝 Summary:
The four stages of the chicken's life cycle are:
1.
Egg
2.
Hatchling
3.
Chick
4.
Adult Chicken
These complete one full cycle, starting from the egg and returning to it through reproduction.
✔ Make sure to spell all words correctly!
