A chicken always grows in the same order: egg, chick, young chicken, then adult hen. The pictures below are mixed up - write 1, 2, 3, or 4 in each circle to show the true order.
Draw a line from each word to the picture it matches.

Practice and check

Worked example

Use the stage names and picture features to check the order; then match each word to its picture row.

1. Egg → 2. Chick → 3. Young Chicken → 4. Adult Hen

Check answers after trying

1: Young Chicken = 3; Adult Hen = 4; Egg = 1; Chick = 2 2: Chick = 2; Egg = 1; Adult Hen = 4; Young Chicken = 3

Young Chicken → 4; Egg → 3; Adult Hen → 2; Chick → 1

Tips for Parents

▸ Practice and check The pictures show egg → chick → young chicken → hen. Compare the visible feathers and body shapes in the chick and young-chicken drawings instead of treating picture size alone as a reliable age guide. The stages are representative: the sheet does not give an exact age for each image, and real chickens need not have these colors. An egg in everyday life will not necessarily hatch into a chick. Keep the worksheet’s growing-chicken story separate from that claim. After ordering, the hen can be linked to eggs in a following generation. ▸ Worked example 1. Egg → 2. Chick → 3. Young Chicken → 4. Adult Hen ▸ Check answers after trying Young Chicken → 4; Egg → 3; Adult Hen → 2; Chick → 1 ▸ Next worksheet Life Cycle of a Frog - Sequencing and Matching. Shared practice guide.
