Here’s the honest truth that nobody tells you: the timeline isn’t just about the chicken. It’s about you. Your setup matters hugely.
If you keep them in a warm, clean brooder with good feed and fresh water? They’ll grow like weeds. If you’re slacking? They’ll grow slowly or get sick. It’s that simple.
Also, the breed matters. A Leghorn will lay eggs way faster than a Brahma. A Cornish Cross will beat a Jersey Giant to the table every time. Do your homework, friend.
