I have seen many many posts on what age you can put them out, when they start laying ect ect ect, but I was wondering how long a well cared for hen will live? If breed matters I'm most interested in Barred rocks. However I'd be interested in hearing about any of your senior citizens hens or roos.
 
Mine's 6 and still going strong, though she got scared out of laying awhile ago. She's a Rhode Island Red. I've heard of chickens getting in the teens, so they definitely can live for a very long time.
 
So I just might get to keep my little penguin around for a bit then. Anyone else have a senior? (pics and stories are of course encouraged!)
