I'm learning about the life cycle of chickens. What comes first, the chicken or the egg?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
That's a classic question. In the life cycle of a chicken, the egg comes first. A chicken hatches from an egg laid by its mother.<|im_end|>

How long does it take for a chicken to hatch from an egg?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It usually takes about 21 days for a chicken to hatch from an egg after it's been incubated at the right temperature.<|im_end|>

What happens after the chicken hatches?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
After hatching, the chick grows and develops into a young chicken, called a pullet or cockerel, and eventually becomes a mature adult chicken, ready to lay eggs or breed.<|im_end|>
