Poll - how old is your oldest chicken?

[steffenbsd]

Curious to see the range of chicken ages in people's flocks. Obviously this depends on your purpose but I think it would be fun to know!

Many people post about some long lived chickens, but I don't know if it is the climate or what, but for me, a 4.5 year old chicken is the oldest I have ever gotten one. Course, I have !#@@%^!!^predators that help keep the flock young! ugh! But even so, mine don't live forever.
