They can live several years but most probably not much more than around 5 years. Since I am in the egg business, I keep most of my female birds only for a couple of years. I have a few special birds that are around 3, 4 and 5 years old. The males I sort out and only keep the best 2 or 3. The feed store down the road from me will take any birds and barter for feed. I have not had any turn gray.Do chickens get old and grey?
