egg good turn=incubator
egg bad turn=eaten
hatchling bad turn=die
hatchling good turn=cage with a heater
chick Good turn= cage with food water
chick bad turn= circus
chick bad turn=die
chicken goodish turn=farm free range
chicken bad turn=caged

We just need information about life cycles for now Lachlan. I did get your funny joke!

In 2-3 days a caterpillar will hatch out. That caterpillar will eat until it is time for it to make a cocoon. The caterpillar will stay in the cocoon for 9-14 days.

By 12 weeks, the tadpole has only a teeny tail stub and looks a miniature version of a adult frog. Soon, it will leave the water, only to return again to lay more eggs and start the process all over again! By between 12-16 weeks, depending on water and the food supply, the frog has completed the frog cycle. The process in witch a tadpole turns into a frog is called a metamorphosis, and it is an amazing transformation.

They are Embryo, Chick, Pullet and Adult.
When an egg gets laid, embryo starts and it takes 21 days.
On day 21 the chick hatches and how long it takes depends on the breed of chicken.
The pullet stage is when chickens become teenagers.

There are The egg, The caterpillar, The pupa and the Butterfly.  It starts when a female butterfly lays her eggs on a plant. The eggs can vary in shapes and sizes. The time it takes for the eggs to hatch can also vary. The caterpillars eat there way out of the egg. When they grow they shed their skin four or five times. Once fully grown, they form themselves into pupa. They transform inside and a hardened case forms outside to protect them. This may last a few weeks to several months. When the Butterfly is ready, the case splits open and the Butterfly pumps a liquid called hemolymph into the wings so they are big and strong to fly off.

Platypus will lay between one and three small eggs.
Eggs develop inside of her body for about four weeks, then are laid in a dirt burrow for about 10 days. 
After hatching, the babies will be blind, deaf and hairless.

After mating, the female platypus will lay between one and three small eggs, similar to those of reptiles. The eggs develop inside of her body for about four weeks, then are laid in a dirt burrow for about 10 days. The incubation has three stages. In the first stage, the embryo relies on the yolk for sustenance. In the second stage, the embryo has fulled absorbed the yolk and begins to develop its limbs and digits. By the third stage, the platypus will begin to develop teeth.

Birth

After hatching, the babies will be blind, deaf and hairless. They survive on their mother's milk, which does not come from teats, but instead is secreted from her pores and collects on grooves in her abdomen, which create pools for them to lap up. They stay in this young suckling stage for about three to four months, after which, the mother stops staying in the burrow with them as often.

Leaving the Burrow

At about four months old, the babies leave the burrow for the first time. While they are born with teeth, these fall out around this time and are replaced by horned plates that are used to grind food. At this stage, they will begin eating adult food, including insect larvae, freshwater shrimp and freshwater crayfish. Both sexes are born with spur buds on their hind feet, but after a year or so, the female's will drop off. On the males, these will continue to grow and are attached to a sac containing poison.

Mating

The animals become sexually mature at two years old and are known to successfully mate as late as nine years old. The platypus only mates between June and October. The animals are not monogamous. While most of the animals live in shallow burrows most of the year, the females dig elaborate burrows after mating in order to provide their young with shelter. Males take no part in raising the babies.

Death

Wild platypuses have been known to live as old as 11 years, and those in captivity can survive to 17 years of age.

There's a fluffy breed of chicken called Silkies. They look more like poodles then chickens!

First or all, a hen will lay an egg every 25-27 hours or so, and this life cycle goes on everyday. In a few days the eggs will come out of the chicken.

Secondly, in a few weeks or so, the chicks will find it's way out of it's egg. It can take hours for it to brake through.

What will you feed the chicks? You would need to provide starter crumbs for the chicks.

Once it comes out of the egg. It wouldn't be that fluffy that you mostly see. In a few weeks the chicks will be fluffy and you might be able to touch one!

In 5-7 months the chicks will turn into chickens! They'll start eating fruits and worms not the starter crumbs anymore. 

Once the chickens are fully grown they'll be able to make there own eggs. And the life cycle will start again and again!

Did you know a group of chickens is called a flock, and did you know Roosters have a important job looking out for predators, and of course waking everyone up at the crack of dawn. ]]> 2021-08-09 04:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dsim/lifecycles/wish/1672438022 .

The chicken is the most common bird in the world. Hens (the adult chicken) can lay up to 200 eggs a year. Chickens can only fly a few meters off the ground. Free range chickens get to go out of there pens once a day. Some chicks can't break out of there eggs.

Chickens also come in lots of different colours like green, blue, red, black, gold and even silver.
A chicken will lay an egg roughly about every day.
Now the chickens mating season well they don't have one chickens will mate all year round which means there will be lots of eggs.
Last of all chickens will lay roughly about one egg a day  so there actually won't be to many eggs for you to collect

Stage 1 the platypus is born still inside the egg. Stage 2 the unhatched platypus is taken to the burrow the burrow is underground where the mother digs next to the waters edge. Stage 3 the unhatched platypus soon comes out of the egg and becomes a baby. When the platypus comes out of the egg it is born blind, deaf and hairless. Stage 4 the platypus becomes an adult. A platypus in the wild lives around 11 years but a platypus in captivity can live up to 17 years of age. Stage 5 the platypus is an adult so it must give birth or find a mate so the platypus' baby can repeat this life cycle!

Their lifecycle  is equally interesting , as they are one of only five types of mammals to be born from an egg

After mating, the female platypus will lay between one and three eggs, similar to those of reptiles. The eggs develop inside of her body for about four weeks, then are laid in a dirt burrow for about 10 days. The incubation  has three stages. In the first stage, the embryo relies on the yolk for sustenance. In the second stage, the embryo  has fulled absorbed  the yolk and begins to develop its limbs and digits.In the second stage, the embryo  has fulled absorbed  the yolk and begins to develop its limbs and digits. By the third stage, the platypus will begin to develop teeth.
Wow, what a lot of information Jenny!

The cycle starts when the Female Butterfly lays her eggs. In the wild it is regular to see a female butterfly lays up to 100 eggs. The eggs can be different in looks, some may be smooth or bumpy.  Depending on the species, some butterfly eggs hatch within weeks or when the weather is warm enough. Once they hatch it is time for them to begin the Caterpillar stage. After the caterpillar hatches out of the egg they eat their eggshells  until the eggshells have been devoured. The caterpillars have a large appetite after they emerge from their egg. Once the eggshell is gone the caterpillars go off to find some leaf or plant to much on. During this Stage they shed their skin four-five times. Why? well they are growing a new bigger skin underneath there current skin so once its ready to come of they shed there old skin off embracing their new skin. A full grown caterpillar can be a hundred times larger than when it emerged from it egg! Once a caterpillar is fully grown it begins the stage pupa. Like the stage name they form into a pupa (or chrysalis)
which is like a shell to protect them from harsh weathers or predators while forming tissue, limbs and organs of a butterfly. Once the caterpillar emerges from the pupa they are a wonderful winged creature. Now they have entered the last and most beautiful stage, The butterfly. Once the butterfly has  emerged from the pupa it is almost ready to take off. The wings at first are soggy, wet and wrinkled. If they took off right there they would go splat. What they do to prevent that is they wait for their wings to dry then pump a special liquid into there wings called Hemolymph into them so they become big and strong  so they are fit for flight. Once the butterflies have grown and pumped their wings with the liquid they go off in flight for the search flowers or a butterfly to mate with. The whole butterfly cycle restarts.

Then the eggs will hatch in a few weeks.

When the eggs hatches the caterpillar will eat the egg as its first meal then starts eating the leaves in its surroundings.
During this stage the caterpillar will shed its skin 4 or 5 times.
Once fully grown the caterpillar it will form itself into a pupa or chrysalis.
During this time, a hardened case forms around the pupa to protect it from predators and extreme weather conditions.
After the transformation is complete a beautiful butterfly emerges from the pupa But it’s not time for take off just yet, as the wings are at first wet, soft and wrinkled.  against its body. The butterfly waits for its wings to dry, and pumps a liquid called hemolymph into them so that they become big and strong. Once fit the butterfly flies off and the cycle starts all over again.

After mating the female will lay up to 1-3 eggs in her burrow. It takes a baby platypus for ten days to hatch. The mother produces it's babies by holding then between her body and tail. Baby platypus infants are the size of a lime beans and totally helpless. Females nurse their young for three to four months until the babies can swim on their own. Platypuses hunt underwater, where they swim gracefully by paddling with their front webbed feet and steering with their hind feet and beaver like tail. Folds of skin cover their eyes and ears to prevent water from entering, and the nostrils close with a watertight seal. In this posture, a platypus can remain submerged for a minute or two and employ its sensitive bill to find food.Males are  venomous. They have sharp stingers on the heels of their rear feet and can use them to deliver a strong toxic blow to any foe.

There are four stages in it: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. It all starts when a female butterfly lays her eggs they take a few weeks to hatch or once the weather is warm enough.

Once ready, the caterpillar leaves its home. These little critters have a serious appetite, they actually eat their way out of the egg and immediately start chomping on the leaves of the plant they were born on. During this stage, they shed their skin 4-5 times.

Once fully grown, the caterpillar forms itself into a pupa. Inside, the cocoon, limbs and organs of the caterpillar transform. The result? A wonderful winged butterfly!


Once the butterfly is ready to emerge, the case around the pupa splits open. But it's not time to take off just yet, as the wings are at first wet, soft and wrinkled against its body. The butterfly waits for its wings to dry, and pumps a liquid called hemolymph into them so that they become big and strong. Then finnally they fly off. Hooray!

  • Frogs can lay up to 4,000 eggs at one time!
  • The full growth cycle from egg to frog takes just 14 weeks!
  • There is evidence that frogs have been on Earth for over 200 millions years. That is as long as the dinosaurs roamed the planet!
  • The largest frog grows to 15 inches and weighs 7 pounds. This is the Goliath frog of West Africa!
  • Frogs absorb water through their skin, so they don’t need to drink.

After about 21 days the chickens start to hatch out of their egg. It is hard work getting out of an egg so it will take a bit of effort. After the chickens are out they are very tired from all the hard work they did to get out so they are not very active. In fact, some may fall asleep because of all the hard work. When a chick is out of an egg they are not adults yet so we call them a chick. But as the chicks grow to their adult stage they are now called hens or roosters depending what gender they are. A female is called a 'Hen'. A male is called a 'Rooster'. Now, soon enough the hen will have baby's and it will all start over again!
