How Old is your Oldest Chicken?

I have a serama roo, oegb hen and a silver sebright hen that are all about 6 years old. I keep the oegb and serama as a little retired couple of indoor chickens. The sebright is still WILD though. The most aggressive of my hens, she is still head of the flock outside even over the roo.
 
I had a sumatra roo that I had to put down when he was 9, had a silkie hen make it to (by best guess) 14 she quit laying around 11 or 12 but would still steal eggs to sit on, had a goldenlakenvelder hen who was (by best guess) 11 and quit laying at 10

and by best guess I mean the people I got them from had them a few years and they were laying eggs when they got them plus the years that I had them, so they might have been older
