A few years ago, a British geneticist, a philosopher and a chicken farmer pooled their resources and concluded that the egg came first. The first egg to have the DNA of a chicken would hatch into a chicken, said professor John Brookfield of the University of Nottingham in 2006. Brookfield and Papineau were speaking at the behest of Disney as a promotion for the film Chicken Little.
When a parakeet is about 3 or 4 months old, it molts for the first time. If your bird is younger than that, his head is adorned with stripes all the way from the forehead down the back of his neck.After his first molt, he loses the stripes from his forehead.hen a parakeet is about 3 or 4 months old, it molts for the first time.

If by parakeet you mean budgerigars, the potential life span can be 8 to even 21 years with reasonably good to extra-ordinary care. But the average life span of every chick hatched would be less than 2 years because most pet keepers do not provide the quality care.
