She even laid pinkish eggs.

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

Senior hens are such a joy to keep. They have gained an incredible amount of wisdom to live this long. They can become picky eaters and this helps keep them alive, they know what they need. If you experience cold winters, definitely offer up heat if she's thin, it can save and extend her life. She may not be able to roost either, make her up a nice bedded corner on the floor, she will appreciate it.

She has her own memory foam bed on my counter in my kitchen . She has the best life a chicken can have.

She's beautiful! That's very old for a chicken and quite impressive, she looks pretty good for her age too. :love
