    First, there was an egg. It was small, white, and perfectly round. It lay cozy and warm in a straw nest inside the chicken coop.

    Next, the egg began to change. Inside, a tiny chick was growing. Everyone on the farm waited eagerly for the big day.

    Then, on a sunny morning, a soft cracking sound filled the air. The egg was hatching! Everyone gathered to watch the miracle.

    The crack in the egg grew bigger and bigger. Then, a tiny beak poked out. It was the chick!

    The chick wriggled and pushed until it was finally free. It was wet and tired but soon fluffed up and looked around curiously.

    The chick spent its days exploring the farm, pecking at seeds, and learning to cluck like the grown-up chickens.

    As days turned into weeks, the chick grew. Its yellow fluff turned into feathers. It was getting bigger and stronger each day.

    Soon, the chick was no longer a chick. It was now a young chicken, ready to join the rest of the flock.

    The young chicken practiced roosting in the chicken coop and scratching for worms. It was learning all the things an adult chicken needs to know.

    Then, finally, the day came when the young chicken was an adult. It was now a full-grown chicken, part of the farm's flock.

    The adult chicken spent its days pecking for food and clucking happily. It had grown from a tiny egg into a beautiful, healthy chicken.

    Last, the chicken found a cozy spot in the coop and laid an egg. And so, the wonderful cycle of life would begin again.

    This is the story of a chicken's life cycle. It's a story of growth and change, and the beauty of nature.
