How long do Old English bantams live?

I've heard 12-16 years, is this true?

I had 1 hen that was 12 or 13 years old.... she would have raised hundreds of chicks in her lifetime.

Mine is about 7 and survived a very traumatic hawk attack that caused her to be blind in one eye. Poor girl. The hawk swooped down on her and tried to tear her head off. We barely saved her after running outside as fast as we could (because I could hear it from my room because the window was open). It took her months to get back to normal and she is all back to normal now! Her right after-

Her once she was better-

She is the sassiest thing and such a fighter I’m sure she could live that long!
