Not Brahmas, but I have many a bird between the ages of 7-10.
Why kill them off if they have so much experience? I keep them as broodies and teachers. Roosters, too. Most are an heirloom Araucana flock, tough and long lived. The girls still lay quite well. They are incredibly important to the grand scheme of things here.

This old rumpless hen has raised hundreds of chicks, including meatbirds. Look at her spurs- but when she goes back to laying, she will lay a clutch of nice blue eggs. I think she's 9-10.

Congrats! How old is she? We have three pullet's this year, 22 weeks old, the White Rock started laying last week, cutest little eggs. I'm guessing I have another month at least for our Light Brahma.

I think mine are 22-23 weeks, it might take longer if yours are standard size too.

I have a curious question.... Are bantam Brahmas actually like a normal sized hen given that the large fowl size are so big, or are they pint sized like other bantam varieties?

No the roosters are about 3/4 the size of normal hens, my brahma pullets aren't full grown but I think they would be half the size of normal hens. My other bantams are just a little smaller than half.
