How old is your oldest chicken?

My oldest is seven and the others should be about the same age

That is crazy old for her breed, many develop reproductive cancers and die young. Glad some of them make it longer.

I never knew that. I do have a BSL that has to have 9 lives. Once she almost got eaten by a dog, flew into my 12 feet deep pond and just swam safely to the shore, was accidentally left outside durning the night when there was raccoons and such everywhere and finally she got stuck under a metal bucket that was coated in chicken slop and didn't suffocate. She is one crazy chicken.

Mine is a buff brahma at around six yo.

My oldest turned 7 in May; she's a BA and was the last of my original flock of day-old chicks. She is molting now but had been laying about once a week. Her sister, also 7, passed away in July.

So sorry for your loss. It's always hard to loose an old friend.

I'm so glad that most people let their chickens grow old and don't just slaughter them when they stop laying.

I suppose you have a young flock or do you cull them?

Oldest? I dunno her exact age, but not a regular layer.

My oldest is 6. A black sex link.

She is usually one of the first hens to lay in the spring

A friend of mine had a 14 year old hatch out some chicks this year. I have some of her relatives that are just coming into their own at 4.

Wow! Definitely still earning her keep then, even if she's not laying.

They were her eggs.
