::stage Egg:: All chickens, male and female, begin their lives inside of eggshells. Once an egg is laid, one of two things can happen. If the egg is not fertilized, it makes its way to the grocery store. These are the eggs you enjoy for breakfast. If the egg is fertilized, then it takes about three weeks for the baby inside to be strong enough to hatch out of it. At first, the baby is covered with a very soft material called down, which makes the chick look fluffy. It takes about one to two months for a baby hen to develop its feathers. ::stage Young Chick:: When a hen is a young chick, it actually isn't called a hen yet. It is called a pullet. These pullets spend about six months hanging out around the farm. These pullets eat both plants and other animals, like mice and insects. This means the pullets are omnivores. After about six months, the pullet is old enough to start laying eggs of her own. Once that happens, she is no longer called a pullet. Now she is a full-grown hen. ::stage Adult Hen:: Once a hen is old enough, let the egg-laying begin! Hens breed with roosters in the spring and summer months, because there are long stretches of daylight during this time. Once a hen breeds with a rooster, she lays an egg in less than 24 hours. The hen sits on the egg to keep it warm, which helps the embryo, or beginning stage of the baby chicken, to develop. In three weeks, the chick hatches and the cycle starts all over again! | In the baby hen stage, it begins to lay eggs | not_entailment | indicator |

::stage Prenatal Stage:: Just like flowers grow from seeds that have been fertilized, so do humans! In humans, the seed is called an egg, and the fertilizer is called a sperm. When the egg and sperm combine, they form a zygote, which is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Over 40 weeks, the zygote grows into a fetus the size of a small watermelon. All this time, the fetus has been in its mother's womb. Now, it's time for the fetus to enter the world and begin the baby stage. ::stage Baby Stage:: The baby stage lasts from birth to age one. Babies can't walk or talk yet, so they cry to communicate when they need something. As they baby's body and brain grow, the baby will start to move around on their own. At 6-8 months old, most babies can sit up and crawl. By one year old, babies usually have several teeth and are trying to talk. ::stage Childhood Stage:: If you're 12 or younger, you're in the childhood stage right now! Ages 1-12 make up the childhood stage, and this is when a lot of changes happen with our brains. In the childhood stage, we learn how to talk in complete sentences, how to feed ourselves, and how to read and write. Childhood is probably the most important stage in the human life cycle. Everything you learn and the habits you pick up will usually stay with you for the rest of your life. ::stage Teenage Stage:: The teenage stage, ages 13-18, is when a lot of changes happen with our bodies. The time when these changes happen are called puberty. Hair starts to grow in places that never had it before, our voices change, and the shape of our bodies change. Being a teenager can be a little rough as you get used to your new self--but remember, it won't last forever! ::stage Adult Stage:: The adult stage is the longest of the human life cycle and lasts from ages 18 to 50. By the time you're in your mid-20s, your body will be settled and, for the most part, stop growing. You may be completely independent and even have babies of your own. ::stage Elderly Stage:: The elderly stage is the final phase of the human life cycle. Usually after age 50, our bodies begin to slow down, and we can't move as fast as we used to. The elderly may need help with walking or other daily activities. When our bodies completely stop functioning, we reach the end of our life cycle, called death. | In the elderly stage,it's learning how to read | not_entailment | indicator |

When the egg and sperm combine, they form a zygote, which is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Over 40 weeks, the zygote grows into a fetus the size of a small watermelon. All this time, the fetus has been in its mother's womb. Now, it's time for the fetus to enter the world and begin the baby stage. ::stage Baby Stage:: The baby stage lasts from birth to age one. Babies can't walk or talk yet, so they cry to communicate when they need something. As they baby's body and brain grow, the baby will start to move around on their own. At 6-8 months old, most babies can sit up and crawl.

By the time you're in your mid-20s, your body will be settled and, for the most part, stop growing.

Everything you learn and the habits you pick up will usually stay with you for the rest of your life. ::stage Teenage Stage:: The teenage stage, ages 13-18, is when a lot of changes happen with our bodies. The time when these changes happen are called puberty. Hair starts to grow in places that never had it before, our voices change, and the shape of our bodies change. Being a teenager can be a little rough as you get used to your new self--but remember, it won't last forever! ::stage Adult Stage:: The adult stage is the longest of the human life cycle and lasts from ages 18 to 50. By the time you're in your mid-20s, your body will be settled and, for the most part, stop growing.

Babies can't walk or talk yet, so they cry to communicate when they need something. As they baby's body and brain grow, the baby will start to move around on their own.

In the childhood stage, we learn how to talk in complete sentences, how to feed ourselves, and how to read and write. Childhood is probably the most important stage in the human life cycle. Everything you learn and the habits you pick up will usually stay with you for the rest of your life. ::stage Teenage Stage:: The teenage stage, ages 13-18, is when a lot of changes happen with our bodies. The time when these changes happen are called puberty. Hair starts to grow in places that never had it before, our voices change, and the shape of our bodies change. Being a teenager can be a little rough as you get used to your new self--but remember, it won't last forever! ::stage Adult Stage:: The adult stage is the longest of the human life cycle and lasts from ages 18 to 50. By the time you're in your mid-20s, your body will be settled and, for the most part, stop growing. You may be completely independent and even have babies of your own. ::stage Elderly Stage:: The elderly stage is the final phase of the human life cycle. Usually after age 50, our bodies begin to slow down, and we can't move as fast as we used to. The elderly may need help with walking or other daily activities. When our bodies completely stop functioning, we reach the end of our life cycle, called death. | In the teenage stage, it can have babies | entailment | indicator |
::stage Seedling Stage:: After falling from the tree in October to late November, winged seeds whirl to the forest floor and await adequate moisture before germination. In heavy mast years, a rain shortly after seed fall will yield a green blanket of germinants on the forest floor. Seeds either germinate within a few weeks after falling or they die. Although seeds will germinate almost anywhere (on rocks, logs, forest mulch), they generally need to land on mineral soil to survive subsequent droughty periods. During this first stage, the seedlings are very susceptible to fire, drought and predation and will take upwards to a year to reach the next life stage. ::stage Grass Stage:: The grass stage is an inconspicuous yet unique stage of a longleaf pine's life history where the seedling resembles a clump of grass more than a tree, hence the name. During the grass stage, the growing tip (bud) of the tree is protected under a thick arrangement of needles at ground level. When fires sweep through, the needles may burn but the tip of the bud remains protected. New needles quickly replace those that were burned off. During the grass stage, longleaf pine seedlings are virtually immune to fire. At the grass stage, although the tree will not be growing upwards, the seedling will be putting down an impressive root system underground. Also during the grass stage, longleaf may become infected with a fungus called brown spot needle blight. Brown spot causes the needles to brown, fall off, and hamper growth. Repeated defoliation will cause the seedling to die. The grass stage may last anywhere from one to seven years depending on the degree of competition with other plants for resources. Rare instances of 20 years have been documented. ::stage Bottle Brush Stage:: When the diameter of the root collar (that area right at ground level) reaches 1-inch, the longleaf grass stage will begin to initiate height growth. Beginning in about late February to mid-March, a single, white growing tip will emerge upwards from the protective sheath of needles. This white tip, called a candle, may grow a few feet in just a few months. By about late May, green needles begin to emerge from the candle and the candle begins to turn scaly and brown as bark begins to form. At this point, the longleaf is growing proportionally more in height then it is in diameter. There are no branches spreading out horizontally during this time causing the tree to look like a three to four-foot bottlebrush. By growing rapidly in a short period of time, the seedling is able to secure an advantageous position to gather sunlight and to get its growing tip above the frequent fires. However, during this stage of growth, longleaf pine trees are slightly more vulnerable to fire. It may take a year or so before the bark thickens enough to withstand most fires. The longleaf may remain in this stage for a couple of years. ::stage Sapling Stage:: When the longleaf reaches about 6 to 10 feet in height, lateral branches begin to emerge and signal the beginning of the sapling stage. Diameter increases and bark thickens modestly, but the tree continues to grow in height at upwards of 3 feet per year. Around late February to mid-March white growing tips can be seen extending upwards from the tufted needles at the end of the branches. As the tree grows taller and the bark becomes thicker, the longleaf becomes less susceptible to fire. After the tree reaches 8 feet in height and about 2 inches in diameter at ground level, it becomes very robust and is rarely killed by fire. The tree will remain in this stage for several years. ::stage Mature Stage:: Somewhere around 30 years after height growth initiation, trees begin to produce cones with fertile seeds. As the forest begins to mature, lower limbs may be shed or pruned off by fire. The trunk of the tree begins to fill out into a straight, relatively branch free tree that resembles a living telephone pole (in fact, many longleaf pines are sold for telephone poles). On more fertile soils, the tree may continue to grow in height up to 110 feet. On poorer soils, the tree may only grow to 60 feet. After about 70 -100 years longleaf essentially ceases height growth. During the later stages of this period, trees may begin to show signs of decay and rot. In particular, longleaf pine reaching 80 years in age may become infected with a fungus called red heart that causes the otherwise dense heart of the tree to become punky, soft, sappy and full of small channels | In the bottle brush stage stage, it grows | entailment | indicator |

After the tree reaches 8 feet in height and about 2 inches in diameter at ground level, it becomes very robust and is rarely killed by fire. The tree will remain in this stage for several years. ::stage Mature Stage:: Somewhere around 30 years after height growth initiation, trees begin to produce cones with fertile seeds. As the forest begins to mature, lower limbs may be shed or pruned off by fire. The trunk of the tree begins to fill out into a straight, relatively branch free tree that resembles a living telephone pole (in fact, many longleaf pines are sold for telephone poles). On more fertile soils, the tree may continue to grow in height up to 110 feet. On poorer soils, the tree may only grow to 60 feet. After about 70 -100 years longleaf essentially ceases height growth. During the later stages of this period, trees may begin to show signs of decay and rot. In particular, longleaf pine reaching 80 years in age may become infected with a fungus called red heart that causes the otherwise dense heart of the tree to become punky, soft, sappy and full of small channels | In the seedling stage stage, it grows | not_entailment | indicator |
::stage Seedling Stage:: After falling from the tree in October to late November, winged seeds whirl to the forest floor and await adequate moisture before germination. In heavy mast years, a rain shortly after seed fall will yield a green blanket of germinants on the forest floor. Seeds either germinate within a few weeks after falling or they die. Although seeds will germinate almost anywhere (on rocks, logs, forest mulch), they generally need to land on mineral soil to survive subsequent droughty periods. During this first stage, the seedlings are very susceptible to fire, drought and predation and will take upwards to a year to reach the next life stage. ::stage Grass Stage:: The grass stage is an inconspicuous yet unique stage of a longleaf pine's life history where the seedling resembles a clump of grass more than a tree, hence the name. During the grass stage, the growing tip (bud) of the tree is protected under a thick arrangement of needles at ground level. When fires sweep through, the needles may burn but the tip of the bud remains protected. New needles quickly replace those that were burned off. During the grass stage, longleaf pine seedlings are virtually immune to fire. At the grass stage, although the tree will not be growing upwards, the seedling will be putting down an impressive root system underground. Also during the grass stage, longleaf may become infected with a fungus called brown spot needle blight. Brown spot causes the needles to brown, fall off, and hamper growth. Repeated defoliation will cause the seedling to die. The grass stage may last anywhere from one to seven years depending on the degree of competition with other plants for resources. Rare instances of 20 years have been documented. ::stage Bottle Brush Stage:: When the diameter of the root collar (that area right at ground level) reaches 1-inch, the longleaf grass stage will begin to initiate height growth. Beginning in about late February to mid-March, a single, white growing tip will emerge upwards from the protective sheath of needles. This white tip, called a candle, may grow a few feet in just a few months. By about late May, green needles begin to emerge from the candle and the candle begins to turn scaly and brown as bark begins to form. At this point, the longleaf is growing proportionally more in height then it is in diameter. There are no branches spreading out horizontally during this time causing the tree to look like a three to four-foot bottlebrush. By growing rapidly in a short period of time, the seedling is able to secure an advantageous position to gather sunlight and to get its growing tip above the frequent fires. However, during this stage of growth, longleaf pine trees are slightly more vulnerable to fire. It may take a year or so before the bark thickens enough to withstand most fires. The longleaf may remain in this stage for a couple of years. ::stage Sapling Stage:: When the longleaf reaches about 6 to 10 feet in height, lateral branches begin to emerge and signal the beginning of the sapling stage. Diameter increases and bark thickens modestly, but the tree continues to grow in height at upwards of 3 feet per year. Around late February to mid-March white growing tips can be seen extending upwards from the tufted needles at the end of the branches. As the tree grows taller and the bark becomes thicker, the longleaf becomes less susceptible to fire.

As the forest begins to mature, lower limbs may be shed or pruned off by fire. The trunk of the tree begins to fill out into a straight, relatively branch free tree that resembles a living telephone pole (in fact, many longleaf pines are sold for telephone poles). On more fertile soils, the tree may continue to grow in height up to 110 feet. On poorer soils, the tree may only grow to 60 feet. After about 70 -100 years longleaf essentially ceases height growth. During the later stages of this period, trees may begin to show signs of decay and rot. In particular, longleaf pine reaching 80 years in age may become infected with a fungus called red heart that causes the otherwise dense heart of the tree to become punky, soft, sappy and full of small channels | In the grass stage stage, it may become infected with a fungus | not_entailment | indicator |
::stage Seedling Stage:: After falling from the tree in October to late November, winged seeds whirl to the forest floor and await adequate moisture before germination. In heavy mast years, a rain shortly after seed fall will yield a green blanket of germinants on the forest floor. Seeds either germinate within a few weeks after falling or they die. Although seeds will germinate almost anywhere (on rocks, logs, forest mulch), they generally need to land on mineral soil to survive subsequent droughty periods. During this first stage, the seedlings are very susceptible to fire, drought and predation and will take upwards to a year to reach the next life stage. ::stage Grass Stage:: The grass stage is an inconspicuous yet unique stage of a longleaf pine's life history where the seedling resembles a clump of grass more than a tree, hence the name. During the grass stage, the growing tip (bud) of the tree is protected under a thick arrangement of needles at ground level. When fires sweep through, the needles may burn but the tip of the bud remains protected. New needles quickly replace those that were burned off. During the grass stage, longleaf pine seedlings are virtually immune to fire. At the grass stage, although the tree will not be growing upwards, the seedling will be putting down an impressive root system underground. Also during the grass stage, longleaf may become infected with a fungus called brown spot needle blight. Brown spot causes the needles to brown, fall off, and hamper growth. Repeated defoliation will cause the seedling to die. The grass stage may last anywhere from one to seven years depending on the degree of competition with other plants for resources. Rare instances of 20 years have been documented. ::stage Bottle Brush Stage:: When the diameter of the root collar (that area right at ground level) reaches 1-inch, the longleaf grass stage will begin to initiate height growth. Beginning in about late February to mid-March, a single, white growing tip will emerge upwards from the protective sheath of needles. This white tip, called a candle, may grow a few feet in just a few months. By about late May, green needles begin to emerge from the candle and the candle begins to turn scaly and brown as bark begins to form. At this point, the longleaf is growing proportionally more in height then it is in diameter. There are no branches spreading out horizontally during this time causing the tree to look like a three to four-foot bottlebrush. By growing rapidly in a short period of time, the seedling is able to secure an advantageous position to gather sunlight and to get its growing tip above the frequent fires. However, during this stage of growth, longleaf pine trees are slightly more vulnerable to fire. It may take a year or so before the bark thickens enough to withstand most fires. The longleaf may remain in this stage for a couple of years. ::stage Sapling Stage:: When the longleaf reaches about 6 to 10 feet in height, lateral branches begin to emerge and signal the beginning of the sapling stage. Diameter increases and bark thickens modestly, but the tree continues to grow in height at upwards of 3 feet per year. Around late February to mid-March white growing tips can be seen extending upwards from the tufted needles at the end of the branches. As the tree grows taller and the bark becomes thicker, the longleaf becomes less susceptible to fire. After the tree reaches 8 feet in height and about 2 inches in diameter at ground level, it becomes very robust and is rarely killed by fire.

The trunk of the tree begins to fill out into a straight, relatively branch free tree that resembles a living telephone pole (in fact, many longleaf pines are sold for telephone poles). On more fertile soils, the tree may continue to grow in height up to 110 feet. On poorer soils, the tree may only grow to 60 feet. After about 70 -100 years longleaf essentially ceases height growth. During the later stages of this period, trees may begin to show signs of decay and rot. In particular, longleaf pine reaching 80 years in age may become infected with a fungus called red heart that causes the otherwise dense heart of the tree to become punky, soft, sappy and full of small channels | In the bottle brush stage stage, it looks like a living telephone pole | not_entailment | indicator |
::stage Seedling Stage:: After falling from the tree in October to late November, winged seeds whirl to the forest floor and await adequate moisture before germination. In heavy mast years, a rain shortly after seed fall will yield a green blanket of germinants on the forest floor. Seeds either germinate within a few weeks after falling or they die. Although seeds will germinate almost anywhere (on rocks, logs, forest mulch), they generally need to land on mineral soil to survive subsequent droughty periods. During this first stage, the seedlings are very susceptible to fire, drought and predation and will take upwards to a year to reach the next life stage. ::stage Grass Stage:: The grass stage is an inconspicuous yet unique stage of a longleaf pine's life history where the seedling resembles a clump of grass more than a tree, hence the name. During the grass stage, the growing tip (bud) of the tree is protected under a thick arrangement of needles at ground level. When fires sweep through, the needles may burn but the tip of the bud remains protected. New needles quickly replace those that were burned off. During the grass stage, longleaf pine seedlings are virtually immune to fire. At the grass stage, although the tree will not be growing upwards, the seedling will be putting down an impressive root system underground. Also during the grass stage, longleaf may become infected with a fungus called brown spot needle blight. Brown spot causes the needles to brown, fall off, and hamper growth. Repeated defoliation will cause the seedling to die. The grass stage may last anywhere from one to seven years depending on the degree of competition with other plants for resources. Rare instances of 20 years have been documented. ::stage Bottle Brush Stage:: When the diameter of the root collar (that area right at ground level) reaches 1-inch, the longleaf grass stage will begin to initiate height growth. Beginning in about late February to mid-March, a single, white growing tip will emerge upwards from the protective sheath of needles. This white tip, called a candle, may grow a few feet in just a few months. By about late May, green needles begin to emerge from the candle and the candle begins to turn scaly and brown as bark begins to form. At this point, the longleaf is growing proportionally more in height then it is in diameter. There are no branches spreading out horizontally during this time causing the tree to look like a three to four-foot bottlebrush. By growing rapidly in a short period of time, the seedling is able to secure an advantageous position to gather sunlight and to get its growing tip above the frequent fires. However, during this stage of growth, longleaf pine trees are slightly more vulnerable to fire. It may take a year or so before the bark thickens enough to withstand most fires. The longleaf may remain in this stage for a couple of years. ::stage Sapling Stage:: When the longleaf reaches about 6 to 10 feet in height, lateral branches begin to emerge and signal the beginning of the sapling stage. Diameter increases and bark thickens modestly, but the tree continues to grow in height at upwards of 3 feet per year. Around late February to mid-March white growing tips can be seen extending upwards from the tufted needles at the end of the branches. As the tree grows taller and the bark becomes thicker, the longleaf becomes less susceptible to fire. After the tree reaches 8 feet in height and about 2 inches in diameter at ground level, it becomes very robust and is rarely killed by fire. The tree will remain in this stage for several years. ::stage Mature Stage:: Somewhere around 30 years after height growth initiation, trees begin to produce cones with fertile seeds. As the forest begins to mature, lower limbs may be shed or pruned off by fire. The trunk of the tree begins to fill out into a straight, relatively branch free tree that resembles a living telephone pole (in fact, many longleaf pines are sold for telephone poles). On more fertile soils, the tree may continue to grow in height up to 110 feet. On poorer soils, the tree may only grow to 60 feet. After about 70 -100 years longleaf essentially ceases height growth.
