Goldilocks had her vet checkup yesterday (all good)

We had a white silky that lived for seven years but a 16yr old chicken that is amazing! You must be the most vigilent chicken owner on the planet.

Thanks but its really just letting her do what comes naturally for her, freeranging until bedtime, varied diet and plenty of green grass, dirt and clean water.

Im blessed to have a pred proof backyard, except for foxes in spring and stray cats once in a while.
Thanks.

I hope she lives to be 20 years old, that is an OLD chicken.

Thanks Coty jo,
The vet said she doesnt even look like getting old!!!
She does look her age to me around her body, though her head , wattles and eyes look great. I wonder if she will lose her sight like old dogs do? I hope not.

She might lose her sight later but even if she does I don't think it would bother her. I mean she is already like 1000 in chicken years, LOL.
