8 year old hen. How long do they live?

And it also depends on breed, a bit. An ISA brown, bred for relentless production of huge eggs, has a very large strain on her body. A little Old English Game bantam lays maybe two eggs a week unless she's going broody, and doesn't produce huge eggs.

My Dad's current oldest birds are both nearly nine years old and look perfectly healthy.
