Chicken Life Span

[stephanie1992]

how long does a pet/ backyard chicken live

Until some predator or human eats it, I think they can go 8 years or more if well cared for.

I've heard that they can live to 15 years old with proper care!

No chance of that in Tn, too many predators!

The World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park, MO posted a picture on their FB page of their white cochin hen that is 20+ years old. Her name is Dumpling.
