Galileos son, he turns 5 months old tomorrow.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Wow. You really have some dream dates there! Gorgeous boys!

Killer, I love your langshan.

Thanks, some of these boys are going to used for breeding this year for a project.

This is the rooster I was talking about: Very sweet, 13+ years old, and had like 2 inch spurs.

If he were that old, then he outlived his lifespan that's 5 - 10yrs.

Wow! Really? I don’t know his exact age, but I knew for sure that he was more than 10 years. Even if we let him live, he was probably going to die from old age

They only live that long?

What about Spitzhaubens?

Yep. There has been rare cases where chickens lived longer then their life spans though. So it's not completely impossible.

I let my Elderly Bantam hen live out her life. She passed in my arms on Thanksgiving day, at the age of 7-8 years.

What about Spitzhaubens?

Yes.

It's all chickens.

 

[The-White-Elephant]

Yes.

It's all chickens.

Ah, ok, thank you. Hope he lives for many more years!

 

[The-White-Elephant]

Yes.

It's all chickens.

Is there a common disease that Spitzhaubens can get?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Ah, ok, thank you. Hope he lives for many more years!

You'll be lucky if he does.
