Chicken Coop Questions

How long does it take for a chick to grow into a chicken?

And I know it needs a space of 2x2 to grow into a chicken, but can that space be anywhere within the coop, even 2x2 squares that are not even touching the chick?

Here's an example, you have a chick surrounded by hens and eggs but there is an open space of 2x2 somewhere within the coop, however that space is not touching the square where the chick is, will it still be able to grow into that space?

Example below:

Open> |O|O|X|X|<hen
Open> |O|O|X|X|<hen
||hen> |X|X|X|X|<hen
||hen> |X|X|X|X|<hen
CHICK>|x|X|X|X|<eggs
|eggs> |X|X|X|X|<eggs

i think center of the coordinates of the chick is bottom left so it always grows into the 2x2 fields to the right and above it including the one it occupies as chick.

they check food for eating at some timeframe and if there is no space during that check then it just doesnt grow as far as i know.
it wont jump into free fields elsewhere in the coop.

Can you move a chick around to a free space manually to get it to grow?
