Let’s think about what this worksheet is asking you to do.
You’re looking at cards that show different stages in a chicken’s life. Each card has a picture and a label underneath it — like “Egg,” “Chick,” “Hatchling,” or “Adult.”
The goal here is probably to put these cards in the right order — from the very beginning of a chicken’s life to when it’s all grown up.
So let’s go step by step:
1. What comes first? A chicken starts as an
egg. That’s where everything begins.
2. Then, inside the egg, the baby chicken grows until it’s ready to come out. When it breaks out of the shell, we call that stage a
hatchling — it’s just hatched!
3. After it’s out of the egg and walking around, fluffy and small, we call it a
chick.
4. Finally, when it’s fully grown — with feathers, a comb on its head, and maybe even laying eggs itself — it’s an
adult chicken.
So the correct order should be:
→ Egg → Hatchling → Chick → Adult
Wait — let’s double-check. Is “hatchling” really before “chick”? Yes! Because “hatchling” means it just came out of the egg — still wet or shaky sometimes. Then after a little while, it becomes a healthy, active chick. So yes, hatchling comes right after egg, then chick, then adult.
Also, notice there are two “egg” cards and two “hatchling” cards — but they’re the same stage. You only need one of each for the sequence. Same with “adult” — there are two pictures, but it’s still just one stage.
So your final ordered list of stages (using one card per stage) is:
Egg → Hatchling → Chick → Adult
Final Answer:
Egg → Hatchling → Chick → Adult
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of chicken worksheet.
