Our two elder hens

[Baldwin]

These ladies are almost 13 yo. An ameruacuna and an aruacuna. Both a little crusty. The ameruacuna is just about blind. Pearl and Oyster.

They hold their age well! You are a great caretaker if they have made it this long! keep loving them, they look like sweethearts!

13 years old ? You have given them a great life with excellent husbandry. Well done.

in her younger days, Oyster was no sweetheart but rather wild and aggressive. But true, she’s a sweetheart now and sits beside me when I hang out in the run.

They were mail order when my kid was 4. Good ladies they are.

Wow, I am impressed with you and your birds. How old were they when they stopped laying? Bless you for taking care of them all these years.

Awww....I love Senior birds! Your birds are so precious! You've done a wonderful job keeping them, 13 is ancient!

Gosh, I don’t know. The aracuana laid and occasional egg (like once a year) until maybe 3-4 years ago. The prettiest shiny blue eggs. Oyster, at least five years. I’ve lost track.
