I was just wondering what the average lifespan is for everyone's Silkies. Just got to thinking.....hehe
I have a rooster that is 3. I can't imagine why they wouldn't live a long time. They take breaks to brood, take winters off and no one wants to eat them because they are so darn cute (except in parts of Asia.) I think the cockerels have the longest life expectancies because of it but what do I know? I expect mine to live a good long time. Actually my oldest hen is also 3 and she lays just as well as her year old daughter.
