Most of this particular flock is in the 3-5 year old range. I have another coop with 4 hens who were my blue Orp, Suede's girls, and another section of that same coop houses six other old hens in it, plus the bantam coop.
This main flock consists of 17 hens plus Isaac at the moment. He used to have about 25 hens, but some are in the Old Hen's Retirement area as I felt they deserved some rooster-free days. One has very bad arthritis and her best pals went with her to that coop, along with one BR hen that Isaac positively loathes for some unknown reason.
You can see some of the other hens in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/727211/ode-to-old-hens-pictures-of-the-seniors-in-our-flock
