How long does a chicken live from chick to full chicken?

The length of time it takes for a chicken to grow from a chick to a full-grown chicken varies depending on the breed and the purpose for which the chicken is being raised.

Here is a general timeline for the growth of a chicken:

* 0-2 weeks: Chicks hatch and are brooded by their mother or a heat lamp. They are fed a starter feed and begin to grow rapidly.

* 3-6 weeks: Chicks continue to grow and feather out. They are transitioned to a grower feed.

* 7-12 weeks: Chickens reach sexual maturity and begin to lay eggs (if they are hens). Roosters start crowing.

* 13-18 weeks: Chickens continue to grow and reach their full weight. They are transitioned to a layer feed (if they are hens).

* 18 weeks and older: Chickens are considered adults. They will continue to lay eggs (if they are hens) for several years.

The rate of growth of a chicken can be affected by a number of factors, including the breed, the diet, the climate, and the health of the chicken.
