Good morning all! Here is a fun conversation starter for today - how old is your oldest chicken?? To start, my Big Buck (buckeye rooster) is 5 this fall! And I have two white leghorns that are 4.

I have several old hens that are 4. I think JJ is 5 or 6 but he is a turkey. I have a flock of none laying old hens that just demand food from me. One of the old rainbows sits in the nest box for hours and never lays an egg.



Also does anyone remember is the "current Bert" a Jr. or is it Bert III? I have another Bert in the pen but he will not get the name Bert until the Current Bert is gone. There can only be one Bert at a time. I am thinking this is
Bert III. The first Bert was white, the second had Some Orange on him and this one has lots of orange. The next one is mottled orange and black on white.

The oldest I know of was around 10 . When grandma passed she still had some mixed bantams and had not hatched any in 10 years . I remember because we hatched them in her old kerosene incubator .

I have two hens that are five. One of my hens from the same batch died when she was three but her two babies are still alive and they're four.

I have a 7 year old SS that still lays an egg occasionally.

Just got back from Grand Forks yesterday. I waved to ya'll as I changed planes in Minneapolis. I froze the whole time. It was 90 when i left Memphis. I should have met Holmes & brought Mr. T back with me! Ralphie...why haven't you picked him up yet?

I thought I was the only one old enough to remember the kerosene incubators and brooders! Of Course that is exempting EJB who remember burying eggs in manure piles to incubate them, and when the church claimed that was witchcraft.....
