Do you still have your first hen/rooster?

I still have one of my first 2 hens, Babs a Buff Orpington, she will be 3 in April. Tildy, the RIR passed away a couple of months ago.
 
As I just got into byc ,yep I still have my first chickens, the ones coming won't bo staying for more then a few years as they are just egg chickens not pets.
 
When I moved to NC 7 yrs. ago, I was bound and determined to own chickens again. I bought 6 chicks. Of those 6 I still have Bunny my SLW. 6 mos. later I bought 2 EE's and they are still with me.
 
we just lost our original rooster, Fred, and i'm really mad! he got into an epic brawl with a younger roo...and finally died of his injuries. he was a good ol' guy and even tho he and i fought all the time, i'll miss him. he took really good care of the ladies and always made sure to get them into the hen house.

here's what happened if you want the full story:

but i still have most of my original gals. one of the hens has to be at least 8 or 9.
 
I have one rooster left from my original flock. Cherokee is a 5 year old EE. He was in a bad roo fight last summer and I thought we were going to lose him. Somehow he pulled through and continues to roost every night in the barn rafters.
 
Yep - still have my first roo....Elvis. Technically I studded him out to my brother's farm. He's a Hatch Game and I didn't have any other games. My brother's Hatch roo was killed by neighbor's beagle and - lo and behold - Elvis was a (pardon the pun...) Dead Ringer!

I got my First Batch 8 years ago. I had a white old english and a bantam ee of some sort.. I then hatched a true aracauna/amerecauna rooster from my papas flock, then i got extremly sick (Got salmonella poisening from them) and had to give them back to my papa. Long story short some passed and some he gave away.
