You're looking at a
Chicken Life Cycle diagram that shows the stages of development from egg to adult chicken, in a circular flow. The goal is to place the correct stage labels into the empty boxes around the cycle.

🐔 Step-by-Step Explanation:
The life cycle of a chicken follows this order:
1.
Egg — The cycle begins when an adult hen lays an egg.
2.
Embryo — Inside the egg, the fertilized cell develops into an embryo (this happens while the egg is being incubated).
3.
Hatching — After about 21 days, the chick breaks out of the eggshell — this is called hatching.
4.
Chick — The newly hatched baby chicken is called a chick. It grows and develops feathers, strength, and size.
5.
Adult — The chick matures into an adult chicken (hen or rooster), which can then lay eggs and start the cycle again.

🔁 Matching the Stages to the Diagram:
Looking at the arrows and positions:
- The
top box (above the adult chickens) → This is where the cycle *starts*:
Egg
- The
top-right box → After the egg comes the
Embryo (developing inside the egg)
- The
bottom-right box → Then comes
Hatching (chicks breaking out of shells)
- The
bottom-left box → After hatching, the young bird is a
Chick
- The
top-left box → Finally, the chick grows into an
Adult, which leads back to laying eggs
>
✔ So, going clockwise from the top:
> - Top:
Egg
> - Top-right:
Embryo
> - Bottom-right:
Hatching
> - Bottom-left:
Chick
> - Top-left:
Adult
*(Note: The adult chickens are already shown in the center — they’re the result of the cycle and also the beginning, since adults lay eggs.)*
---
✔ Final Answer (Box Labels):
From top, going clockwise:
1.
Egg
2.
Embryo
3.
Hatching
4.
Chick
5.
Adult
This completes the chicken life cycle correctly!
