Most bestest free ranging chicken?

American Game are perfect survival chickens. To this day I've never lost one, or even a half one, to predation or sickness. Cross them with a production chicken and you'll have extremely tough egg-layers
What happens to the lifespan of the gamefowlXproduction hens? Do they continue laying much beyond age 2 and/or die early of reproduction issues?

They seem to be intermediate with their longevity. A game hen at age 3 feels sleek, muscular and strong. A production hen feels worn out and frumpy. The halfbreeds are definitely in better health than the production hens, but not as healthy as the pure games

I have some 3 year old AGF/RIR hens still laying eggs every other day. Never had any chicken die from reproductive issues yet
