It brings a smile to my face when I go into the coop on a cool morning and find about 4 of our 7 plus year old Buff Minoricas on the roosts enjoying the sun streaming through the windows. Or as I walk by a smaller coop and get hollered at by Chubby, our big fluffy Cochin, also the same age.
We keep our hen number at about 50, bringing in or hatching chicks as needed. But the old girls are always there to help out as needed.
