  • A hen may lay 300 eggs in a year, but only if a rooster is present can the eggs contain hatchlings. Eggs take 21 days to hatch, but a newly hatched chick is up and moving within a day. Within three months, the chick has lost its yellow feathers and replaced them with adult feathers, ready to start the cycle again.

    John ★★★★★

    My three-year-old loves pointing out the tiny hen inside the transparent egg model. We've been counting down the 21 days together, which makes the life cycle so much easier to explain.

    Hazel ★★★★★

    My kids were fascinated watching the figures show each stage, from egg to rooster, and the 21-day incubation fact really stuck with them. The detail on the tiny hatchling is surprisingly good for the price, and it’s held up fine after a week of play.

    Leo Q. ★★★★☆

    The eggs-in-a-year fact is printed right on the packaging, which makes it easy to turn this into a quick lesson while we play. Figures are sturdy enough for a preschooler's daily farm setup, and the chick stage is honestly the cutest. Just wish the hen's comb were a bit more detailed.
