When sizing up your wage, itâs also important to bear in mind that an uptick in base pay isnât the only way that companies reward their employees. In some cases, you may actually fare better with a generous bonus instead of a big raise. Take someone with an annual salary of $80,000 and a modest 1% salary increase. That means his or her base pay only inched up $800 â not even enough to keep up with inflation.
The answer to that is 21 days exactly, although you need to bear in mind that this can vary, depending on a number of circumstances. Generally speaking however, fertile chicken eggs which are hatched out by a hen will take 21 days before you see little faces staring at you from underneath their mamma's wings.
There really is no good way to accurately determine the age of a chicken. In general, from hatch to feathering takes up to 12 weeks. First eggs are laid at about 5 months. First molt (the lose and change feathers) takes place at about 12 to 14 months old depending on the breed. Egg production stops about three years old and from there the chicken can live up to 10 years old.
