Chicken Life Stages – The Four Main Cycles in the Life of a Chicken.
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.

We are full time homesteaders at Pioneer Mountain Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania. We have a sawmill, produce garden, honeybees, layer hens, laying ducks, pigs, and goats. Additionally, we provide boat and camper storage to nearby visitors of Raystown Lake and sell firewood and lumber in south central Pennsylvania. Our journey is to be as self-reliant as we can be; to live as much as we can from the resources we have at hand; to effectively be productive with as minimal environmental impact as possible; to raise food in an organic manner; and to give back to our community through education or demonstration. We are always learning, as well. Life is always an adventure! We enjoy learning from others and seeing what other people are doing as well. –Bren and Chuck
