What do you mean need? Hens need laying pellet, unless they are still babies, then they need starter feed. Water is also essential. You can buy dewormer at your local pet store. Most of the time you can add the wormer to the water. They need a coup to lay eggs and stay in at night. they also need a laying box... fill it with hay or dead grass. Works great!

That depends on how well the chicken is taken care of - but chickens are known to live 12+ years.
Um, no offense but, why do you need food?
I have found that if you want easy to care for chickens that lay a lot of eggs, Isa Browns are the best variety. They are the breed of chickens most egg farms use. Rhode Island Reds are also good. But, if you are looking for pets, some bantam varieties may be what you are looking for.
You have not answered me, I really care about these chickens and I don't want them to die! Please tell me the answer.
Chickens are usually hatched in a hatchery or incubator. Their mother will also hatch them in the nest and usually take care of them.
